Summary

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that's easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate.

Detailed Description

JSON is commonly used to transmit data between a server and a web application as text. It is made up of key-value pairs and is often used to serialize structured data, making it a popular choice in API responses and configuration files. Unlike XML, JSON is much simpler and less verbose, which contributes to its popularity in web applications.
