About JSON Examples
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is the most widely used data format for web APIs, configuration files, and data storage. These examples demonstrate common JSON patterns you'll encounter in real-world development.
Each example below is copy-paste ready and can be opened directly in our formatter for editing. Use these as starting points for your own JSON structures.
Common JSON Use Cases
🌐 REST APIs
