Understanding JSON and Nested Objects
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a popular data exchange format, thanks to its simplicity and readability. It is often used when data is sent from a server to a web page. A nested object in JSON means an object within an object. It is an effective way to associate related data.
{
"person": {
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"address": {
"street": "123 Main St",
"city": "Anytown",
"country": "USA"
}
}
}
In the above example, person is an object, and address is a nested object within person.
