JavaScript Object Notation is abbreviated as JSON. It is essentially a text format that enables the
transmission of data between devices, such as client and server computers. Due to the fact that
its Origin is based on the way a JavaScript object works, it is functionally similar to but not
identical to a JavaScript object. Despite its ancestry in JavaScript, it is extensively used in a
number of programming languages, including C, Ruby, Python, and PHP, to name a few.
Additionally, web development makes significant use of it. Given the file's small size and ease of
transformation into a data structure, it may be considered a potential alternative to other
formats like as XML and HTML.
Douglas Crockford developed the JSON format in the early 2000s and standardized it the
following year. Because JSON is a text-based format, it is simple to transmit and receive data,
and it can be utilized as a data format by any computer language. Despite its formal difference,
JSON is a subset of javascript and is effectively supported in some way by all contemporary
programming languages.
JSON's structure is composed of two main components, which are discussed in detail below.
Similarly to how JavaScript object properties are expressed, JSON data is represented using
name/value pairs in the same way that JSON data is represented using name/value pairs. It is
necessary to create name/value pairs by utilizing field names (which should be surrounded in
double quotes), a colon, and then the value. In order for JSON names to be valid, they must be
enclosed in double quotes. However, the names of JavaScript classes vary from this convention.
