title: Storing Array in JSON
body: <p>I am working on a research project that requires storing a large amount of external data. I have settled on the JSON format, which I have never used, as a storage format. All I really need to store is a large array of data however every example of JSON I can find that has an array in it is nested inside of an object. for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{ "NumberList" : {
      "array" : [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] }}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is it possible to have only an array? Such as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"array" : [1,2,3,4,5,6]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Without an opening and closing bracket or a surrounding object?</p>
