Decimal	1234.56 (number)	1234.56
Float	1.234e10 (number)	1.234e+10
Text	"text" (string)	written as-is; padding depends on the chosen layout
Long text	"multi-line\ntext" (escaped newline inside a string)	written as-is
Date	"2026-09-18" (string)	whatever the writer chose
Datetime	"2026-09-18T14:30:00Z" (string)	whatever the writer chose

Dialect differences

Both JSON and TXT are file formats, so what differs below is how each one chooses to represent a value.

Property	in JSON	in TXT
identifiers	Double quotes; backslash escapes	None by convention
dates	No date type: dates arrive as strings and the reader must p...	Whatever the writer produced; no convention is guaranteed
binary	Not supported natively - base64 inside a string	Not supported
separator	Braces and commas	Whatever was chosen - often fixed column widths
encoding	UTF-8 by definition	No declaration - UTF-8 works only with a BOM
typing	string, number, boolean, null, object, array - no date type	None - every field is text
shape	Nested objects and arrays	Free form; a parser has to be told the layout
ceiling	Whole document is usually parsed into memory	No formal limit
