STDs are stable identifiers for "Internet Standards." An STD may consist of a single RFC or a group of RFCs related to a specific protocol. The collection may become empty as the STD evolves.

Abstract
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format. It was derived from the ECMAScript Programming Language Standard. JSON defines a small set of formatting rules for the portable representation of structured data.
This document removes inconsistencies with other specifications of JSON, repairs specification errors, and offers experience-based interoperability guidance.
