JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript programming language, but it can be used with any programming language.

JSON is commonly used to transmit data between a server and a web application, or between different systems. It is also used to store data in NoSQL databases, such as MongoDB and Couchbase.

A JSON file consists of a collection of name/value pairs, similar to a dictionary in Python or an object in JavaScript. The names (also called keys) are strings, and the values can be strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, or other objects.

JSON has become a popular alternative to XML (eXtensible Markup Language) for exchanging data on the web. It is less verbose and easier to read than XML, and it can be parsed more efficiently by computers.
