They are both methods of the AJAX concept

Although IFRAME/GIF/COOKIE was the old way to make this wonderful concept work, JSON is an implementation of AJAX but instead of transporting in XML, you transport in JSON, so really, it should be AJAJ.
See JSON-PHP or JSON-JS (json.org)
I am just starting to learn JSON, as I've heard from a fellow php'er that it beats the infamous XML anyday. So I'm pretty new to it.

json is not a alternative to using the XMLHTTPReq object. You still use that. But, instead of sending the data in XML format, it is sent in JSON format. So the technology is really AJAJ instead of AJAX, but both use XMLHttpReq object.
