What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Syntax Rules

• Data is in name/value pairs
• Data is separated by commas
• Curly braces hold objects
• Square brackets hold arrays

Example

{
  "name": "JSON Formatter",
  "version": 1.0,
  "features": ["Fast", "Secure"]
}
