Introduction to JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format, renowned for its simplicity, readability, and language independence. Originating from a subset of JavaScript, JSON has become a fundamental part of modern web development.

What is JSON?

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It is a text format that is completely language independent but utilizes conventions familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages. This interoperability has established JSON as an ideal data-interchange language.

The Evolution of JSON

The JSON format was originally specified by Douglas Crockford, evolving from the need for a more efficient data-interchange format. Over the years, JSON has become integral to web applications for its ease of use in transmitting data between servers and web applications.

Why Choose JSON?

JSON's popularity stems from its simplicity and practicality. Being both easy to read and write for humans, and simple to parse and generate for machines, JSON serves as a versatile format suitable for a wide range of applications.

Parsing JSON Data

Exploring different methods to parse JSON data in various programming languages:

let jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}';
let obj = JSON.parse(jsonData);

$jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}';
$obj = json_decode($jsonData);

import org.json.JSONObject;
String jsonData = "{\"name\": \"John\", \"age\": 30, \"city\": \"New York\"}";
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(jsonData);

import json
jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}'
obj = json.loads(jsonData)

#include 
using json = nlohmann::json;
json jsonData = json::parse("{\"name\": \"John\", \"age\": 30, \"city\": \"New York\"}");

import Foundation
let jsonData = "{\"name\": \"John\", \"age\": 30, \"city\": \"New York\"}".data(using: .utf8)!
let obj = try! JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: jsonData, options: [])

import "encoding/json"
jsonData := []byte(`{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}`)
var obj map[string]interface{}
json.Unmarshal(jsonData, &obj)

NSString *jsonData = @"{\"name\": \"John\", \"age\": 30, \"city\": \"New York\"}";
NSData *data = [jsonData dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *obj = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:kNilOptions error:nil];

require 'json'
jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}'
obj = JSON.parse(jsonData)

jsonData='{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}'
echo $jsonData | jq '.'

local json = require("json")
local jsonData = '{"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}'
local obj = json.decode(jsonData)

using System.Text.Json;
string jsonData = "{\"name\": \"John\", \"age\": 30, \"city\": \"New York\"}";
JsonDocument doc = JsonDocument.Parse(jsonData);
