Several things I would like to take away from this lesson:
The most important thing might be this one:
Everything in JSON is
VALIDin JavaScript
JaveScript Object Notation
- Data Representation Format
- Commonly Used for APIs and Configs
- Lightweight and Easy to Read/Write
- Integrate Easily With Most Language
JSON Types
- Strings
- Number
- Booleans
- null
- Array
- Object
Example
user.json
{
“name”: “Kyle”,
“favoriteNumber”: 3,
“isProgrammer”: true,
“hobbies”: [“Weight Lifting”, “Bowling”],
“friends”: [{
“name”: “Joey”,
“favoriteNumber”: 100,
“isProgrammer”: false,
“friends”: […]
}]
}
