JSON Training for FileMaker - JSON Format and Rules (JSON Fundamentals #2)

⚡️FREE JSON training course and downloadable files for FileMaker developers.⚡️

In this lesson, we explore the fundamentals of JSON format, emphasizing the importance of adhering to specific rules for proper structure.

We begin by introducing the concept of key-value pairs, where data is organized with a name followed by its corresponding value, and highlight the use of commas to separate these pairs. We demonstrate how objects are defined using curly brackets and arrays with square brackets, explaining the necessity of unique keys within objects and the requirement for string values to be enclosed in double quotes.

As we build examples, we illustrate how to format data, including adding multiple fields and arrays, while also discussing the handling of special characters and reserved words. We conclude by noting that JSON is not date-aware and must represent dates as strings or numbers, and we prepare to delve into practical applications of JSON with real-world data in future lessons.

Knowing how to create, parse, and manipulate JSON is essential for integrating FileMaker with APIs, Claris Connect, Artificial Intelligence, and more. In the complete course, we cover everything you need to know about JSON from the perspective of a Claris FileMaker Developer.
