What Is JSON?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is an open, standard, text-based data format derived from JavaScript object syntax. It is language-independent, making it the most ubiquitous medium for data exchange between web clients, microservices, mobile apps, and cloud databases.
JSON supports six basic value types: Objects (unordered key-value collections wrapped in {}), Arrays (ordered lists wrapped in []), Strings (double-quoted Unicode text), Numbers (integers and floating-points), Booleans (true or false), and null.
JSON Best Practices
Always Use Double Quotes
JSON specifications strictly disallow single quotes (') for strings or key names. Always enclose both keys and values in double quotes (").
Avoid Trailing Commas
Unlike regular JavaScript objects, trailing commas after the last array item or object property cause strict syntax errors in valid JSON parsers.
Minify for Network Transit
While formatted JSON is essential for debugging and reading, minified JSON removes whitespace and linebreaks, significantly reducing HTTP payload sizes.
Sort Keys for Deterministic Diffs
Sorting object keys alphabetically standardizes payload shapes, making automated git diffs, regression testing, and caching reliable.
