OK, let's say I have a JavaScript game (preferabbly on jQuery framework) and its using HTML5 Canvas.

What would be your way of storing data to map out shops, monsters, and npcs? I was thinking maybe JSON txt files on the website? Or maybe simple text files and simple delimiters? I am not sure. How would you store that kind of data?

Yes, JSON. There isn't really much debate in the javascript world on this matter.

You should take JSON. Javascript can directly work with JSON-objects. Just make sure that you have a consistent pattern on them so the compiler can optimize stuff (At least on Chrome you can make sure that V8 will try to inline stuff and create internal classes from your objects and all the fancy magic).
