DevelopmentAlso called: "json data", "json structure"
JSON is the de facto standard for APIs and configuration files due to its simplicity.
Data types
- Objects: Key-value pairs wrapped in {}.
- Arrays: Ordered lists wrapped in [].
- Strings, Numbers, Booleans, Null: Primitive values.
Best practices
- Validate JSON schema to prevent malformed data.
- Escape special characters in strings to avoid injection.
- Minimize whitespace in production for smaller payloads.
- Use consistent formatting for readability in source control.
Security considerations
- Avoid eval() or unsafe deserialization.
- Validate input before processing.
- Set size limits to prevent denial of service.
