JSON Knowledge

What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format, based on a subset of JavaScript, uses completely language-independent text format to store and represent data. Simple and clear hierarchical structure makes JSON an ideal data interchange language.

Example:{"name": "John", "age": 25, "hobbies": ["reading", "coding"]}

What data types does JSON support?

JSON supports six data types: Object, Array, String, Number, Boolean, and null. JSON doesn't support JavaScript special types like functions, dates, regular expressions.

What's the difference between JSON and XML?

JSON is more concise than XML, faster parsing, smaller footprint. JSON is natively supported by JavaScript, while XML needs DOM to parse. JSON supports arrays, while XML needs nested tags to represent array structures. Most modern APIs use JSON as data interchange format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the JSON viewer free?
A: Completely free, no registration required, no usage limit, just open the webpage to use. All operations are done locally in your browser, not uploaded to server.
Q: What size JSON files are supported?
A: This tool supports processing JSON data within a few MB. If JSON file is too large, may cause browser lag. For extra large files, recommend using local tools to process.
Q: Will my JSON data be saved?
A: No. All operations are done locally in your browser, data not uploaded to any server, not recorded. Please use with confidence.
Q: How to choose between 2-space or 4-space indentation?
A: Depends on your project standards and personal preference. 2-space is more compact, 4-space is clearer. Most JavaScript community uses 2-space, Java and Python etc. commonly use 4-space.
Q: Must JSON keys use double quotes?
A: Yes, strict JSON specification requires keys to use double quotes. Although JavaScript object literals can omit quotes or use single quotes, standard JSON must use double quotes.
Q: Does JSON support comments?
A: Standard JSON doesn't support comments. If you need comments, can use extended formats like JSON5, but most APIs and parsers only support standard JSON.
