JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format that uses human-readable text to represent structured data as key-value pairs and arrays. JSON is standardized by RFC 8259 (December 2017), which obsoletes RFC 7159 (2014) and RFC 4627 (2006). It has become the de facto standard for data exchange in web APIs, configuration files, and NoSQL databases due to its simplicity and broad language support.
