JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation is a lightweight format used to store and exchange data. Itβs easy to read and write for humans and simple for machines to understand and generate.
Hereβs a basic example of JSON:
{
"name": "Max",
"age": 31,
"email": "max@example.com"
}
In this example, we have an object with three key-value pairs: the name is Max
, the age is 31
, and the email is max@example.com
.
JSON can also represent arrays, like this:
[
"apple",
"banana",
"cherry"
]
As you can see, an array is basically a list of data.
JSON is widely used in web applications to send data between a server and a client, making it a fundamental part of modern programming! π
