title: Is JSON a string?
body: <p>My question is, is JSON technically a string? I understand that data is passed over the internet via text format. So, text format means string? I had an interview wherein I slipped in that JSON is basically a string and I literally got blasted over it. Is text format not string? We always stringify the object and send it as JSON right? So, wont it make JSON a string? </p>
  
  <p>I couldn't find any clear answers on google stating that JSON is a string. Everywhere its said that it is a text-format.</p>
