What is JSON

Share

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 is often used to transmit data between a server and a web application, as an alternative to XML.

Here is an example of JSON data representing information about a person:

{
“name”: “John Smith”,
“age”: 30,
“email”: “john.smith@example.com”,
“address”: {
“street”: “123 Main St”,
“city”: “Anytown”,
“state”: “CA”,
“zip”: “12345”
},
“phoneNumbers”: [
{
“type”: “home”,
“number”: “555-1234”
},
{
“type”: “work”,
“number”: “555-5678”
}
]
}


In this example, the JSON data represents information about a person named John Smith. It includes his name, age, email address, and an address object containing his street address, city, state, and zip code. It also includes an array of phone number objects, each containing a type (home or work) and a number.
