Learn JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

JSON is a lightweight format used to store and send data. It’s easy for humans to read and easy for computers to understand.

Here is an example of JSON:

{
  "name": "Devon",
  "age": 17,
  "skills": ["coding", "servers", "web design"]
}
    

How JSON works:

• Data is written in key : value pairs
• Keys must be inside quotes
• Values can be text, numbers, lists, or objects
• Objects use { }
• Arrays use [ ]

Try editing this JSON:

{
  "username": "YourNameHere",
  "level": 1,
  "inventory": ["sword", "shield"]
}
    

Change the values and imagine how a game or website would use this data.
