JSON

Category: Technical Terms

Definition

JSON is a format for storing and sending data that both humans and computers can read easily.

How It Works

JSON organizes data in name-value pairs: {"name": "Claude", "type": "AI assistant"}. It's simpler than XML but more structured than plain text.

Most APIs use JSON to send data back and forth.

Why It Matters

JSON is everywhere in modern web development and AI applications. APIs return results in JSON, configuration files use JSON, and AI training data often comes in JSON format.

Understanding JSON helps you work with any AI service or tool.
