What Is JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight format for storing and transporting data between machines. It uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute-value pairs and arrays. Developers prefer JSON because it is simple to build and debug, has a low payload size, and is supported across many programming languages. An example JSON object contains name and age keys with string and number values, while an array contains multiple such objects within square brackets.
