JSON Example

JSON example can be created by object and array. Each object can have different data such as text, number, boolean etc. Let's see different JSON examples using object and array.

JSON Object Example

A JSON object contains data in the form of key/value pair. The keys are strings and the values are the JSON types. Keys and values are separated by colon. Each entry (key/value pair) is separated by comma.

    "employee": {
        "name":       "sonoo", 
        "salary":      56000,
