JSON supports 6 data types:

Simple types:

• Boolean – "isActive": true
• Null – "middleName": null

Complex types:
• Object – key-value pairs { }
• Array – ordered lists [ ] (Primitive and Objects)

Pro tips:
• JSON can be nested to model real data
• Keys must use double quotes
• No trailing commas allowed
• Whitespace improves readability
