JSON has the following syntax:

• Objects are enclosed in braces ({}), their name-value pairs are separated by a comma (,), and the name and value in a pair are separated by a colon (:). Names in an object are strings, whereas values may be of any of the data types, including another object or an array.
• Arrays are enclosed in brackets ([]), and their values are separated by a comma (,). Each value in an array may be of a different type, including another array or an object.
• When objects and arrays contain other objects or arrays, the data has a tree-like structure.

The following example shows JSON data for a sample object that contains name-value pairs. The value for the name “phoneNumbers” is an array whose elements are two objects.

{

“firstName”: “James”,

“lastName”: “Jackson”,

“age”: 52,

“address”: “Kaiser Drive”,

“city”: “Fremont”,

“state”: “CA”,

“postalCode”: “94555”,

“phoneNumbers”: [

{ “Mobile”: “111-111-1111” },

{ “Landline”: “222-222-2222” }

]

}
