Array of JSON Objects

I am trying to re-implement a page using JSON instead of some 2-dimensional arrays.

What I am hoping to accomplish is get an array of objects. The objects would look like this:

{ // Restaurant
  "location" : "123 Road Dr",
  "city_state" : "MyCity ST",
  "phone" : "555-555-5555",
  "distance" : "0"
}

I want to create an array of these restaurant objects and populate the distance field with some logic, then sort the array based on the distance field.

Can I create an array of JSON objects or is there something else with JSON that accomplishes this goal?

Thanks very much for your help.
