JSON is widely used for:

• API responses and requests
• Configuration files
• Data storage
• Data exchange between web applications
• Storing structured data

• Data is in name/value pairs
• Data is separated by commas
• Curly braces hold objects
• Square brackets hold arrays
• Names must be strings, written with double quotes
• Values can be strings, numbers, objects, arrays, booleans, or null
