About JSON Files

.json Icon

A .json file is a text file that stores data in the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. It is a standard data interchange format primarily used by web applications to transmit data between a client and a server. JSON is based on a subset of JavaScript (its syntax is similar), consisting of key-value pairs, arrays, and objects.

Douglas Crockford developed JSON in the early 2000s, and ECMA International later standardized it as part of the ECMAScript standard. Crockford developed it as a simpler alternative to XML for data interchange to reduce the complexity of working with data formats. Developers may view and modify the files with text editors but often use source code editors, which provide helpful syntax highlighting capabilities.
