Submodule 13.3: Object Notation

An example of a JSON object is:

{
  "dishes": [
    {
      "id": 0,
      "name": "85% Dark Chocolate",
      "image": "images/dark85.jpg",
      "category": "darks",
      "label": "Hot",
      "price": "4.99",
      "featured": "true",
      "description": "Dark chocolate with no added sugar. Here you can taste the flavor of cocoa beans."
   }
]
}

Based on the above, let's analyze the syntax :

• They are surrounded by curly brackets { }
• They have key( eg "id")-value( eg 0) pairs. 
• Each key-value pair is separated from the next one with a comma
• Each key is separated from its value by a colon
• Each key must be a string and written with double quotes
• Objects contain arrays ( in this case 1 array) which should be surrounded by Square brackets 

In our example, the object "dishes" is an array. It contains 1 object.
