The JSON Standard was inspired by ECMA's ECMAScript Standard, Third Edition, but is not dependent on it. ECMAScript Fifth Edition does not define JSON, but implements the JSON standard in ECMAScript. Changes in the ECMAScript Standard have no impact on JSON. JSON is language independent. There is a question about where the JSON Standard should live. One theory is that it should be at IETF, because there is an informational RFC that associated JSON with the MIME type application/json. The other theory is that the standard should live at ECMA because JSON was initially derived from ECMAScript, and because ECMA is related to ISO. I do not know how this should be decided.
