JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text format for structured data made of objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and null.

Why it matters

Keys and strings must use double quotes, and trailing commas and comments are not allowed. It is the most common format for web APIs.
