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

Technically an empty array [] is valid JSON...so...

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

Could double entendre it and do

[["😃", 0],
 [0, "😃"]]

For a JSON Bourne Identity
