JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation.
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and it is a lightweight format for storing and sending the data over a network like HTTP or HTTPS. JSON also used when we want to send some data from a server to a web page or a Mobile Application.
JSON is "self-describing" or "User-define" and easy to understand data storage mechanism. JSON only supports Text/String data.
We can store the value of a property or a collection like arrays of user-defined data types.
An empty { } is a JSON Object, we use " " to write the property name at the left side of ":" and also use the same " " to put it's valued at the right side, for example, if we want to store an employee object with one property as Name so where is the JSON:
{
"Employee": { "Name": "Nitin Pandit" }
}
Or If we want an Array of Employees with multiple properties like Id, Name, and Salary to store in JSON:
{
"Employees": [
{ "Id": "101","Name": "Nitin", "Salary": "12345" },
{ "Id": "102", "Name": "Nishant", "Salary": "12345" }
]
}
