Introduction: Why Everyone’s Suddenly Talking About “JSON”
Okay, I’ll be honest.
Back when I first heard about JSON (pronounced “Jay-sawn” like some tech guy who drinks oat milk and wears Crocs), I thought it was a fancy new café in Tiong Bahru. Turns out it wasn’t on the menu, but it was everywhere else — powering websites, apps, APIs, CRMs, chatbots, and yes, even your food delivery app that somehow forgets your chilli sauce.
Now, as a software and mobile app developer based in Singapore for more than two decades (yes, since before Grab was even a thing), I’ve seen tech buzzwords come and go — but JSON stuck.
And if you’re a startup founder, a no-code builder, or just someone who keeps hearing “JSON” and nods politely while secretly Googling it in another tab — this one’s for you.
