JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.

There is a newer version: 2.5.1

/**
 * Searches for paths in a {@link JSONObject} and returns those found.
 * 
 * Traverses the specified {@link JSONObject} searching for nodes whose paths (from the root down) match
 * any of the user-specified paths. The paths that match are returned.
 * 

 * A path to locate must be specified in the n-gram format - a list of keys from the root down separated by dots:
 * K0[[[[.K1].K2].K3]...]
 * 

 * A key to the right of a dot is a direct child of a key to the left of a dot. Keys with a dot in their name are
 * not supported.
