What are the data types supported by JSON?

This tests your knowledge of JSON, another popular file format that wraps with JavaScript. There are six basic JSON datatypes you can manipulate: strings, numbers, objects, arrays, booleans, and null values.

In a machine learning interview, the correct answer to the question “What are the data types supported by JSON?” would typically include the following:

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) supports several data types, including:

  1. Strings: Text enclosed in double quotation marks.
  2. Numbers: Integers or floating-point numbers.
  3. Booleans: True or false.
  4. Arrays: Ordered collections of values enclosed in square brackets ([]).
  5. Objects: Unordered collections of key-value pairs enclosed in curly braces ({}).
  6. null: A special value representing null or absence of a value.

It’s important to note that JSON is a lightweight data interchange format commonly used for transmitting data between a server and a web application. It’s based on a subset of the JavaScript programming language, hence the name, but is language-independent and widely used in various programming languages.
