JSON Format

What is JSON?

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON consists of key-value pairs and arrays, making it a versatile format for representing structured data.

Key Components of JSON:

  • Objects: Collections of key-value pairs enclosed in curly braces {} .
{

  "name": "John Doe",

  "age": 30

}
  • Arrays: Ordered lists of values enclosed in square brackets [] .
