JSON Sample Files
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON has become the standard format for web APIs and configuration files.

About JSON files
JSON files use a simple syntax of key-value pairs and arrays. The format supports strings, numbers, booleans, null values, objects, and arrays. Unlike XML, JSON has no closing tags or attributes, which keeps it compact.
Most programming languages have built-in JSON support. In JavaScript you get JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify(). Python has the json module. PHP has json_encode() and json_decode(). Parsing JSON is fast and straightforward in every language.
Our sample JSON files range from a simple flat object to a 1000-record array, plus specialized formats like GeoJSON and a mock API response. If you need something more structured, check out our XML samples or YAML samples.
