JSON stands for Java Script Object Notation.

It is a lightweight and text-based format. Supports with UTF-8 and date-time information in ISO8601 format. It uses string value pairs for storing data.

JSON supports two structures.

1. Object
An object is an unordered collection of name-value pairs enclosed in {}.

Example:

{
    "firstName":"Test",
    "age":20,
    "lastName":"Test"
}

2. Array
An Array is list of JSON values which can include objects enclosed in [].

{
 "processed":true,
 "records":[
  {
   "Name":"Test1",
   "No":"1"
  },
  {
   "Name":"Test2",
   "No":"2"
  }
 ],
 "size":2

}
