# JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data format that represents structured data as key-value pairs and ordered lists, derived from JavaScript object literal syntax. It is language-independent and used across virtually all programming ecosystems to transmit data between servers and applications, especially in REST APIs, and as a configuration file format. Its simplicity and human readability have made it the dominant data-interchange format on the web, largely replacing XML for many uses.

## JSON in the job market

- Open roles: 46
- Employers hiring: 32
- Median stated pay: $160,000 (middle half $134,000 – $201,000), from 29 of 46 open roles — the 63% that publish a range, annualized to USD. Only some employers state pay, and the ones that do skew to California and New York, where the law requires it.
