Question

also, is it related to JS?

Answer 1

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, readable format for structuring data (objects).

For example:
{
"name": "ykt",
"number": 59
}

Answer 2

it's how you send text data over a network, before XML was the choice , but now JSON is dominant format (XML is also used ), can send plain text also

it's nothing but writing data in key / value pairs , as written by Krishna.
it's a common convention, so that different types of application can utilize the data

it comes very handy when you are tweaking open source applications, by just adjusting the .json files

Answer 3

nope .json files can be used by any language, not just JavaScript
