Json

JSON is frequently employed for transmitting data between servers and clients, as well as for interchanging information among various components within an application.

JSON data is structured as an assemblage of key-value pairs, with each key being a string and each corresponding value capable of being a string, number, boolean, array, object, or null.

A valid JSON file should look like the below example. “{‘Project’: ‘key’: ‘Activation’: ‘Manager’}”

1. The values within JSON are presented as “InputFile,” “JsonObject,” and “Variable,” all of which should commence and conclude with double quotes.
2. It starts and ends with a curly bracket.
3. The values inside the JSONObject should be single quoted.
4. This feature supports only Json format as input files.
