json & working with json in django

what is JSON? & let's see how to handle JSON data in Django using python

 

JSON: JavaScript Object Notation => a standard text-based data format for representing structured data

   - commonly used for transmitting data in web applications (server <=> client)

   - json exists as a string => needs to be converted to a native JavaScript object when assessing the data

   - json is just a data format + 어떠한 통신 방법, 프로그래밍 문법도 아닌 단순히 데이터를 표시하는 표현 방법이다.

   - json 형식은 key / value가 존재할 수 있으며 key값이나 문자열은 항상 "" 표기한다.
