A file format (.json) that lets you specify certain object properties without needing to know any code. It is not a programming language and has no innate functionality of its own - it relies on C# instructions from frameworks to translate its contents into actual instructions for the game. You do NOT need to know any programming to understand JSON files - frameworks typically have documentation regarding what input they expect.

If you want to learn more about the syntax of JSON and why so many mod authors complain about commas and brackets, Button has made a tutorial on the basics of JSON formatting.

JSON files can be read in almost any text editing program, however, one made specifically for reading code like Notepad++ or Visual Studio will offer options for color-coding, bracket matching, and many other useful features.
