JSON means JavaScript Object Notation. It is an open source text base standard for data exchange. Primary
Syntax rules
- Data is a key-value pair (also
reffered to as property) separated by a comma. Keys are always strings. - Curly brackets hold objects
- Square brackets hold arrays
Data types
- String
- Object
- Number
- Array
- Boolean
Example
{
"example_string":"This is string",
"example_date":"2018-12-12 00:00:00",
"example_number:1,
"example_number2":3.65,
"example_boolean":true,
"example_array":["element1","element2"],
"example_object":{
"property1":"data1",
"property2":data2"
},
"example_null":null
}
In the example above you can see a JSON object with properties of different types. Important to note is that the date is presented as a string and not as different data type.
