What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format used by web applications, REST APIs, mobile apps, and cloud services. It is easy for humans to read and write while remaining simple for machines to parse and generate.

JSON stores data using key-value pairs and supports objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null values.

Example JSON

{
  "employee": {
    "id": 101,
    "name": "David",
    "department": "Engineering",
    "skills": [
      "C#",
      ".NET",
      "SQL"
    ]
  }
}
