Working with JSON

JSON is the acronym of JavaScript Object Notation, and it is a subset of the JavaScript language. It has been there for almost two decades now, so it is well known and widely adopted by basically all languages, even though it is actually language independent. You can read all about it on its website (https://www.json.org/), but I'm going to give you a quick introduction to it now.

JSON is based on two structures: a collection of name/value pairs, and an ordered list of values. You will immediately realize that these two objects map to the dictionary and list data types in Python, respectively. As data types, it offers strings, numbers, objects, and values, such as true, false, and null. Let's see a quick example to get us started:

# json_examples/json_basic.py

import sys

import json
