It’s commonly used for sending data between a server and a web application, as well as for storing configuration data and exchanging information between APIs.Key features of JSON include- Syntax Simplicity, Data Types, Structured Format, Language Neutrality, Compatibility with Web etc.
Imagine you have a special box where you keep your favorite toys. JSON is like a magic language that helps you tell your friend what toys are in your box and why you love them. It’s a way for computers to talk about things they know, like your toys, so they can understand each other better and have fun together! Just like you talk about your toys with your friend, JSON helps computers talk about their stuff too.
