Hi, what is JSON JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. JSON is lightweight text-data interchange format. JSON is syntax for storing and exchanging text information. Much like XML. JSON is smaller than XML, and faster and easier to parse. JSON is language independent. JSON uses JavaScript syntax for describing data objects, but JSON is still language and platform independent. JSON parsers and JSON libraries exists for many different programming languages. The JSON filename extension is .json . JSON Internet Media type is application/js . Json Uses: JSON format is used for serializing & transmitting structured data over network connection. This is primarily used to transmit data between server and web application. Web Services and APIs use JSON format to provide public data. It can be used with modern programming languages.
