This chapter introduced us to the basics of JSON. We went through the history of JSON and understood its advantages over XML. We created our first JSON object and successfully parsed it. Also, we went over all the datatypes that JSON supports. Finally, we went over some examples as to how JSON can be implemented in other programming languages. As we move forward in this journey, we will find the knowledge that we have gathered in this chapter to be a solid foundation for more complex concepts such as accessing multilevel JSON and performing data storage operations on them, which we will be looking at in later chapters.

Overview of this book
JSON is an established and standard format used to exchange data. This book shows how JSON plays different roles in full web development through examples. By the end of this book, you'll have a new perspective on providing solutions for your applications and handling their complexities.
After establishing a strong basic foundation with JSON, you'll learn to build frontend apps by creating a carousel. Next, you'll learn to implement JSON with Angular 5, Node.js, template embedding, and composer.json in PHP. This book will also help you implement Hapi.js (known for its JSON-configurable architecture) for server-side scripting.
You'll learn to implement JSON for real-time apps using Kafka, as well as how to implement JSON for a task runner, and for MongoDB BSON storage. The book ends with some case studies on JSON formats to help you sharpen your creativity by exploring futuristic JSON implementations. By the end of the book, you'll be up and running with all the essential features of JSON and JavaScript and able to build fast, scalable, and efficient web applications.
