What is JSON?[edit]
JSON or Javascript Object Notation is a text-based language-independent data-interchange format very similar to XML or YAML. Although JSON can be used with almost every major coding language, JSON wouldn’t be correctly classified as a “programming language” per se, rather it’s a text-based open standard method of storing, sending, and retrieving data between a client and server. JSON is a very important data representation format, as it is widely used to facilitate the majority of web-based API calls and is very common in facilitating communication between servers and clients in a wide array of applications.
