- A variant of JSON, introduced and used by the Puppet software configuration tool, that serializes data. Contrary to JSON, which requires the serialized form to be valid Unicode (typically UTF-8), PSON uses 8-bit ASCII, allowing it to represent arbitrary byte sequences in strings. To identify PSON, Puppet relies on the MIME types
psonandtext/pson.
