     218== JSON Format ==
     219
     220The data structure of the native S3JSON format is equivalent to the XML format (=element trees) - except that markup elements are represented by prefixes:

     264'''JSON format characteristics:'''
     265
     266  * The JSON output contains _no_ whitespace between elements, it's just added here by hand for better readability
     267
     268  * The outermost structure is always a JSON object (not a list)
     269  * All data is represented as strings (for security reasons)
     270
     271  * If @value is sent for a field, it overrides the element text ($) at import
     272  * however, the use of @value is not mandatory, data can simply be placed instead of element text
     273  * Note that there is no automatic data encoding: data must be sent in DB-encoded format
     274  * @resource, @name and @uuid attributes are mandatory at input, other attributes can be omitted
     275
     276  * Multiple records of the same resource will be aggregated as lists like:
     277

     280    $_my_resource: [
     281        {
