The JSON config is strange, the keys contain type information. But any JSON parser worth its salt should not require that since JSON is natively typed, no?

  Where? I don't see that. What type info is below? Do you mean "mapList"? I suspect it's just what they chose to name the key. "triestimes": 3, "mapList": [ { "desc": "ftp", "nExternalPort": 6221, "nInternalPort": 21, "sProtocol": "TCP", "bEnable": 0 },...

    I suspect they mean the letter prefixes: _n_ExternalPort + _n_InternalPort for number, _s_Protocol for string and _b_Enable for boolean. It's probably just a convention they use in the source code that's made its way into the JSON by serializing something? Either that or old habits die hard.

      Oh, ok, that makes sense. I assumed that was from some cargo culted code on how to name members of a struct.

      probably serialization of some object which uses hungarian notation
