What Is a JSON File?
JSON is a data format that originated in JavaScript and is now used by the internet. It’s compatible with multiple programming languages and can be stored on web servers or applications.
JSON files are not executable. They are text files that can be opened with most text editors, but some don’t allow you to also edit them. This means that if you want to change the formatting of a JSON file, you’ll need to use a different editor.
How to Open a JSON File
Windows doesn’t automatically assign a plain text editor to open JSON files. You’ll have to choose the program manually. Here’s how you can open a JSON file using the most popular text editors and browsers.
Using Notepad
Open Notepad and type in the following: [ “name” ] = “My JSON File”
Save the file as MyJSONFile.json.
Choose Open with > Notepad++.
Type the following into Notepad++: { “name” : “MyJSONFile” , “version” : 1 , “description” : “My JSON file” }
Save the file as MyJSONFile2.json.

Web browsers like Firefox and Chrome can also read JSON files. All you need to do is open a new browser window and drag and drop your JSON file into it. Alternatively, you can open the file using the same steps we described above, but choose Firefox or Chrome instead of Notepad.

Firefox provides a web browser that allows you to read the raw JSON statements in the Raw Data section. However, you can’t edit them.

Open JSON Files Using Any Text Editor
The JSON file you’re viewing is a collection of data. The data in this file is organized into fields, and each field has a name. The name of the field is the first thing you’ll see when you open the file. The second thing you’ll see is the value of the field. The value of the field is what you’ll see when you click on it in a text editor like Notepad++ or Atom.
