JSON

A lightweight data interchange format widely used for API communication and configuration files.

Also known as: JavaScript Object Notation
Technology

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It has become the standard format for API communication.

Syntax Example

{
    "name": "WebThinker Glossary",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "features": ["search", "A-Z navigation", "tooltips"],
    "active": true
}

JSON vs XML

JSON is generally preferred over XML for web APIs because it is more compact, faster to parse, and natively supported by JavaScript.
