-JSON doesn’t have to have only key:value pairs; the specification allows to any value to be passed without a key. However, almost all of the JSON objects that you see will contain key:value pairs.
+JSON doesn’t have to have only key:value pairs; the specification allows for a list or array which is enclosed in square braces such as:
+<code javascript [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
+["red","green","blue"]
+</code>
+The square braces indicate an array or list, in this case {"red","green","blue"} is invalid because the { } indicate a key/value pair, but [ ] indicate a list or array. You can have a list as a value as shown in the example two above.
 To be valid, there must be a matching set of } for every { and ] for every [ , and elements must be comma separated and types must be correctly quoted.
