JSON


JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation.

It is a text-based, human-readable data interchange format used to exchange data between web clients and web servers.

The format defines a set of structuring rules for the representation of structured data. JSON is used as an alternative to Extensible Markup Language (XML).

JSON sample code
{
  "student": {
    "rollno": 10001,
    "name": "Lakshman",
    "age": 15,
    "location": "Chennai"
  }
}
