JSON File

Category: Web Files

What is a JSON file?

The JSON extension started as a format based on a subset of JavaScript but has transformed into a language-independent codec which is used by several programming APIs. It stores data structures and objects in JavaScript Object Notation form and is a standard data interchange medium. These files are text-based, and human-editable, which makes them the default extension for multiple purposes, but is most commonly used for data transmission between a web application and a server.
