JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight data format primarily used for exchanging information between systems, particularly on the web. It represents data as key-value pairs, similar to how we might list items and their attributes. For example, a person's details could be shown as: `{ "name": "Alice", "age": 30 }`. JSON is easy for both humans to read and machines to parse, making it a popular choice for APIs and web services. It supports data structures like arrays and objects, allowing for complex data organization while remaining simple and clear.
