JSON is commonly used for data interchange between servers and web applications. It is text-based and allows for an intuitive structure of complex data.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and open related building blocks.

JSON is a text-based data interchange format with objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null.
JSON grew from JavaScript object notation and spread as a lightweight, language-independent format for web applications. Douglas Crockford shaped its early standardization; RFC 7159 formalized the syntax in 2014.
A JSON document represents data as nested values: objects map keys to values, while arrays hold sequences. Parsers turn this structure into data types in the target programming language.
Key-value pairs describe named properties.
An ordered list holds multiple values.
Program data becomes a transferable text representation.
JSON is widely used for APIs, configuration, and persisted data. Schema, encoding, numeric precision, and validation should be defined.
