JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format. It allows us to represent the objects in our Python programs as human-readable text that can be sent over the internet. Lots of APIs and databases use JSON for communication.
You’ll learn how to work with Python’s built-in json module to serialize the data in your programs into JSON format. Then, you’ll deserialize some JSON from an online API and convert it into Python objects.

Great course, I really liked working with the custom type encoder/decoder. I usually type the exercises out by hand and I have been using single quotes instead of double quotes. One thing I learned was that JSON requires double quotes, single quotes don’t work. You might have mentioned that and I missed it (I think I read that somewhere and already had forgotten it). That made me fumble around for a while when I wrote out the complex_data.json using single quotes and JSON_Ex5.py didn’t work. Those are the kind of things that can trip me a bit. I appreciate learning about working with JSON. Thank you.
