JSON Syntax
Let's have a quick look at the basic syntax of JSON. JSON syntax is basically considered as a subset of JavaScript syntax; it includes the following −
· Data is represented in name/value pairs.
· Curly braces hold objects and each name is followed by ':'(colon), the name/value pairs are separated by , (comma).
· Square brackets hold arrays and values are separated by ,(comma).
Below is a simple example −
{
"book": [
{
"id":"01",
"language": "Java",
"edition": "third",
"author": "Herbert Schildt",
},
{
"id":"07",
"language": "C++",
"edition": "second",
"author": "E.Balagurusamy",
}
]
}
JSON supports the following two data structures −
· Collection of name/value pairs − This Data Structure is supported by different programming languages.
· Ordered list of values − It includes array, list, vector or sequence etc.
