JSON Getting started with JSON JSON Object

Example

A JSON Object is surrounded by curly braces and contains key-value pairs.

{ "key1": "value1", "key2": "value2", ... }

Keys must be valid strings, thus surrounded by double quotation marks. Values can be JSON objects, numbers, strings, arrays, or one of the following 'literal names': false, null, or true. In a key-value pair, the key is seperated from the value by a colon. Multiple key-value-pairs are separated by commas.

Order in objects is not important. The following JSON object is thus equivalent to the above:

{ "key2": "value2", "key1": "value1", ... }

To sum it all up, this is an example of a valid JSON Object :

{
  "image": {
    "width":  800,
    "height": 600,
    "title":  "View from 15th Floor",
    "thumbnail": {
      "url": "http://www.example.com/image/481989943",
      "height": 125,
      "width":  100
    },
    "visible": true,
    "ids": [116, 943, 234, 38793]
  }
}
