JSON
A simple text format for exchanging structured data
Core Idea
JSON is a text format for representing structured data with objects and arrays. It stays simple enough for humans to read while remaining easy for most languages to parse and generate.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses JSON across API response bodies, configuration files, and JWT payload examples. It is the familiar exchange format that keeps frontend and backend lessons speaking the same language.
