Can anyone explain what is JSON in servicenow

[SKum]

where is this JSON used and why and also the benefits from this

[Chuck Tomasi · Accepted solution]

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It is not specific to ServiceNow, but available to JavaScript: Reference- JSON

It is a way of expressing your objects in a string notation - using methods like JSON.stringify() and converting those strings back to objects with JSON.parse().

This allows you to send complex information between systems or between the server and the browser, etc. in a textual format and turn it in to "intelligent" data on the other end. Very powerful!

JSON isn't a ServiceNow concept, it just allows you to parse JSON

Here's a couple web resources on JSON:

JSON Introduction

An Introduction to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) in JavaScript and .NET

Its just a very common way to package what would otherwise be table data in a way that both humans and machines can tolerate.   "Parsing" JSON is critical for integrations.   Many integration methods will return a "JSON Object" which will be a massive string of name value pairs.   Once parsed, you can interact with the records in much the same way you would a GlideRecord query.
