Just a value is valid for JSON

Question

I want to know if the next value is valid as a JSON format

1223452234

I am using AFNetworking in my iOS app and allow the parse of it with

readingOptions: .AllowFragments

And it works... but it is a valid JSON? what's the name of that kind of things?

Thanks

Answer 1

To my knowledge you must be in an array or object type for the root element.

This means you could have something like this if you really wanted it to be as "small and simple" as possible.

[ 
     12341234 
]

or this if you need keys.

{
    "test": 321321312
}

I don't think the numbers by themselves are valid and they're definitely not standard.
