JSON
JavaScript Object Notation
A lightweight text format commonly used to structure data exchanged between software systems.
Example
The response represents names, numbers, lists, and nested objects as JSON.
Why it matters
It lets software exchange organized information without depending on the layout of ordinary prose.
You'll hear it
“The app expects a number here, not a sentence.”
Can you control it?
Set by the team
The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.
Common questions
- Does valid JSON establish that the facts are right?
- No. It checks a form of organization, not the truth of its contents.
- Can a missing comma make it unreadable to software?
- Yes. Small formatting errors can prevent a strict reader from accepting the text.
- Does JSON have to describe an AI answer?
- No. It is used for many kinds of software data exchange.
