+Mechanic: JSON Message
+======================
+
+*Added in 2.3.2*
+
+Sends a json-format chat message to the target player(s). JSON-messages
+are capeable of hover-events, click events and some other perks that are
+unavailable in the other message mechanics. They also support [color
+codes](/databases/misc/colorcodes) and [message
+variables](/skills/stringvariables).
+
+The format of JSON-messages is a little more advanced than your everyday
+message. The syntax requires some extra symbols. If you don't know
+anything about writing JSONs, you can visit [this
+page](https://www.minecraftjson.com/) or [this
+one](http://minecraft.tools/en/tellraw.php) for help.
+
+**Note that double quotes must be replaced with single quotes in
+JSON-message mechanics.**
+
+Please do not post issues relating to this mechanic in the bug-report
+subforums unless you're certain that your syntax is correct.

+You can use both bukkit color codes or json color formatting:

+
+      Skills:
+      - jsonmessage{m="[{'text':'&aHey, i am a JSON message!'}]"} @trigger ~onInteract
+      - jsonmessage{m="[{'text':'Hey, i am a red JSON message!','color':'red'}]"} @trigger ~onInteract
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Here's an example of how to make use of hover-events:  
+  
+<img src="http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160309/7irfoune.jpg" width="500" height="30" alt="http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160309/7irfoune.jpg" />
+
+      Skills:
+      - jsonmessage{m="[{'text':'&7With me, you can create hover events','hoverEvent':{'action':'show_text','value':{'text':'&aI am a hover event :)'}}}]"} @trigger ~onInteract
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+And click events can be created like this. This is especially useful for
+the /mm signal command to create interactive quest mobs. This example
+would send the signal &lt;signal&gt; to the mob casting the json-message
+mechanic, if the player clicks on the click-event.
