🧄Introduction to JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript programming language, so it is easy to use with JavaScript and other languages that can parse JSON.

Some common use cases for JSON include:

• Storing data in a NoSQL database (such as MongoDB)

• Sending data over the internet as the payload of an HTTP request

• Configuring application settings

Benefits of using JSON include:

• It is easy to read and write, which makes it easy to work with for both humans and machines.

• It is lightweight, which makes it efficient for storing and transferring data.

• It is language-independent, which means it can be used with any programming language that can parse JSON.

• It is widely supported, with libraries available for parsing and generating JSON in many different programming languages.
