Introduction to JSON
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It's a lightweight data format that's easily readable by humans since it's text-based. JSON is considered "lightweight" because it doesn't use much memory or CPU and is easy to implement. It only takes a few seconds minutes for humans to learn how to write JSON. It was derived from JavaScript but can be used with most programming languages. JSON is used for storing and sharing data. JSON data can be converted to JavaScript objects with JavaScript programs. The basic structure of JSON is formed of keys and values. JSON is a lot more accessible than some other data formats because it's easy to learn how to read and write it. “Simplicity, carried to the extreme, becomes elegance.” - Jon Franklin, computer scientist Facts about JSON JSON is similar to XML and YAML. XML is harder to read and more complex than JSON. Some people think YAML is even easier to read than JSON. JSON is used for configuration files and APIs. Modern JSON was developed in the mid-2000s. Example of a JSON object { "key": "value" } This is a helpful resource for learning more about JSON. About me I'm interested in JSON because I'm an AI Data Analyst.
