JSON Stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It can be
interpreted as the syntax/naming convention of defining objects in javascripts.
Data is stored in the form of key-value pairs.
A value can be an object as well (which is again a JSON). It
supports nested objects
Key can be set with or without a string wrapper.
var JSONObject1 = {”key” : 1, “Key2” : 2}
var JSONObject2=
{key1: 1, key2 :2};

Accessing properties of a JSON
var myJSONObject= {“bindings” : [
{“ircEvent” : “PRIVMSG”, “method” :
“newURI”, “regex” : “^http://.*”}
{“ircEvent” : “PRIVMSG”, “method” :
“deleteURI”, “regex” : “^delete.*”}
{“ircEvent” : “PRIVMSG”, “method” :
“randomURI”, “regex” : “^random.*”}
]
};
console.log(myJSONObject.bindings[0].method);
/*newURI */
var myJSONObject= {“bindings” : [
{“ircEvent” : “PRIVMSG”, “method” :
“newURI”, “regex” : “^http://.*”}
{“ircEvent” : “PRIVMSG”, “method” :
“deleteURI”, “regex” : “^delete.*”}
{“ircEvent” : “PRIVMSG”, “method” :
“randomURI”, “regex” : “^random.*”}
]
};
console.log(myJSONObject.bindings[0].method);
/*newURI */
