Chapter 1 — Introduction to JSON and Data Representation
JSON documents follow a simple structure based on two main concepts: objects and arrays. Objects are collections of key–value pairs enclosed in curly braces {}, while arrays represent ordered lists of values enclosed in square brackets []. Proper syntax ensures that JSON data can be reliably processed by applications.
Example: JSON object with multiple fields
{
"title": "Learning JSON",
"author": "John Smith",
"year": 2024
}Each property contains a name (key) and a corresponding value.
