JSONavain

JSONavain is a Finnish word that translates to "JSON key" or "JSON property". In the context of JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), a JSONavain refers to the name or identifier used for a value within a JSON object. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute-value pairs and array data types.

A JSON object is a collection of key-value pairs. Each key must be a string, and it is enclosed in double quotes. The key is followed by a colon, and then by its corresponding value. For example, in the JSON object {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}, "name" and "age" are JSONavain values, while "Alice" and 30 are their respective values. These keys are crucial for accessing and manipulating data within a JSON structure. When parsing JSON data, the keys are used to locate and retrieve specific pieces of information. Understanding the concept of JSONavain is fundamental to working with JSON data in programming languages and for data exchange between different systems.
