We have played with JSON already.......

var ball = {    
  x : 300,    
  y : 200,    
  xspeed : 4,    
  yspeed : -5
}

When we access the values in the JSON object.

var person = {
  "firstName": "John",
  "lastName": "Smith",
  "age": 25,
  "address": {
    "streetAddress": "21 2nd Street",
    "city": "New York",
    "state": "NY",
    "postalCode": "10021"
  },
  "phoneNumber": [
    {
      "type": "home",
      "number": "212 555-1234"
    },
    {
      "type": "fax",
      "number": "646 555-4567"
    }
  ],
  "gender":{
    "type":"male"
  }
}

person.fisrtName

Let's make your own .json file.

food.json

{
 "name":"curry",
 "red": 100,
 "green":200,
 "blue":100,
}

Let's validate

{
	"name": "curry",
	"red": 100,
	"green": 200,
	"blue": 100
}
