What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, pronounced /ˈdʒeɪsən/; also /ˈdʒeɪˌsɒn/) is an open standard file format, and data interchange format, that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and array data types (or any other serializable value). It is a very common data format, with a diverse range of applications, such as serving as a replacement for XML in AJAX systems.

JSON Syntax

JSON defines only two data structures: objects and arrays. An object is a set of name-value pairs, and an array is a list of values. JSON defines seven value types: string, number, object, array, true, false, and null.

The following example shows JSON data for a sample object that contains name-value pairs. The value for the name "phoneNumbers" is an array whose elements are two objects.

      
{
  "firstName": "Duke",
  "lastName": "Java",
  "age": 18,
  "streetAddress": "100 Internet Dr",
  "city": "JavaTown",
  "state": "JA",
  "postalCode": "12345",
  "phoneNumbers": [
    {
      "Mobile": "111-111-1111"
    }, {
      "Home": "222-222-2222"
    }
  ]
}
