JSON

JavaScript Object Notation

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data interchange format designed for easy readability and parsing. It uses a simple structure of key-value pairs and arrays to represent data, making it an efficient choice for data transmission between servers and web applications. JSON syntax follows these rules:

  • Data is represented in name/value pairs
  • Curly braces {} enclose objects
  • Square brackets [] denote arrays
  • Commas separate data elements
  • Double quotes surround keys and string values
