JSON Stands for JavaScript Object Notation, It is lightweight format for storing and transporting data through API from server to a web page. It is also 'self describing' and easy to understand.

Example:

JSON Data types :

1. JSON Strings

{ "name":"Ajay"}

Here "name" is a key and "Ajay" is its
value.

2. JSON Numbers

 { "Age":34}

Here "Age" is a key and 34 is value, which is a
number type.

3. JSON Objects

{ "friends":[
        {
            "name":"Shyam singh",
            "age":25,
            "email":"ram@gmail.com"
        },
        {
            "name":"Rahul roy",
            "age":26,
            "dob":"23/12/1996",
            "isFriend":true
        }
    ] }

here "friends" is a key and its values are in array data type
which contains two objects. His first friend is shyam and
second frind is Rahul.

4. JSON Arrays

{"hobbies":["Learn to code", "Paint", "Blogging", "Writing"]}

Here "hobbies" is a key and it has multiple values in array
format separated by commas.

5. JSON Booleans

"isFriend":true

Here "isFriend" is a key and its value in Boolean format which
can be either true or false.

6. JSON Null

{"middlename":null}

"middlename" is a key and its value in null format. if something has no value than we can assign null to its value for example some people have no middle name in that case we can assign null value.

A common use of JSON is to exchange data to/from a web server. When receiving data from a web server, the data is always in string format.
Parse the data with JSON.parse() and the data become javaScript object.
_Example _ ( data coming from a web server )

'{ "name":"Ajay", "city":"New Delhi"}'

the data is in string format now we need to convert it into javaScript Object by using JSON.parse()

var obj = JSON.parse('{ "name":"Ajay", "city":"New Delhi"}');

Now we can use
