Summary

This chapter introduced us to the basics of JSON. We went through the history of JSON and understood its advantages over XML. We created our first JSON object and successfully parsed it. Also, we went over all the datatypes that JSON supports. Finally, we went over some examples as to how JSON can be implemented in other programming languages. As we move forward in this journey, we will find the knowledge that we have gathered in this chapter to be a solid foundation for more complex concepts such as accessing multilevel JSON and performing data storage operations on them, which we will be looking at in later chapters.
