What is JSON?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a commonly used format for describing data. JSON can take the form of an object of key-value pairs or an array of values.
JSON Object
A JSON object is made up of key-value pairs (see the example above).
An object must start with an opening brace { and end with a closing brace }.
Inside the object, keys must be surrounded with double quotes "", followed by a colon, and then followed by an allowed value of a type listed in the table below.
JSON Array
A JSON array is made up of a series of comma-separated values.
An array must start with an opening bracket [ and end with a closing bracket ].
Each value in the array must be of a valid data type as represented in the data type table below.
