Understanding JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It 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 Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON formatting?

JSON formatting (or beautifying) is the process of adding indentation and line breaks to JSON data to make it easier to read and understand. Minified JSON is often a single line of text, which is hard for humans to parse.

How does the JSON validator work?

The validator parses the JSON input. If the input string is valid JSON, it will be formatted. If it contains syntax errors (e.g., missing quotes, trailing commas), an error message will be displayed, helping you pinpoint the issue.
