(In JSON, it is called an object. In Ruby, it’s called a Hash. In Erlang, it’s called a Map. Etc.) > [...] is an array (a.k.a. list). > So mainly the {...} isn't ordered and [...] is ordered. Yes. Maps also are composed of key-value pairs (in JSON, called name/value pairs (or members), where the key/name must be a text string), while arrays/lists are composed of elements (single data items).
