Introduction of JSON
In this course, we are going to learn about a very interesting, and widely used file format, which is JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation. It was originally specified by Douglas Crockford. The syntax of JSON is taken from the JavaScript objects, but it is text only. The JSON format is human understandable, which means that it is easy for humans to read and write the JSON files. Also, the thing is that we can easily convert the JSON data into JavaScript objects, inside our JavaScript programs. So, now, we are going to dive into different concepts related to JSON. We will see in greater detail, what is JSON, why should we use JSON, and some different related concepts. So, let’s get started.
