I would say JSON Bourne but every member within the curlys needs to be a key value pair, so this isn't JSON.

Yeah, {} should be [] so it would look something like this:

[""]

Could double entendre it and do

[["๐Ÿ˜ƒ", 0],
 [0, "๐Ÿ˜ƒ"]]

["๐Ÿ™‚"] and [] and "๐Ÿ™‚" are valid, but anything within {} needs to be a key value pair.

I genuinely saw [] and not {}...

Maybe I do need to schedule that eye exam.
