What Are JSON Files & How Do You Use Them?

JSON files are files that store data in a format called JavaScript Object Notation (JSON).

JSON is a standard way of exchanging data between different applications and platforms. These files are text-based, human-readable, and lightweight. You can use JSON files to store and transfer various types of data, such as numbers, strings, booleans, and objects.

To use JSON files, you need a program or a library that can read and write JSON data.

Most programming languages have built-in or external libraries that can handle JSON data.

For example, in JavaScript, you can use the JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() methods to convert JSON data to and from JavaScript objects.
