Edit, validate, and query JSON files in a cloud workspace.
Start coding free →JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data format for transmitting structured information between servers and clients. Its syntax is readable by people and parseable by nearly every programming language. Beyond APIs, JSON is widely used for configuration files and data storage. A RunCode workspace gives you jq, Node.js, and VS Code preinstalled so you can work with JSON files from the first minute.
Open a JSON workspace →JSON objects hold key-value pairs, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null values. Its structure maps directly to data types in most programming languages, making it straightforward to parse and generate. In JavaScript, JSON.parse converts a JSON string into an object and JSON.stringify does the reverse. Beyond REST APIs, JSON appears in config files, log formats, and data interchange between services.
