This format contains different types of data: objects, arrays, and attributes.

The Attribute is a key-value, where the key is the name of the attribute. Attributes can only be used inside objects.

}

The Object is a data structure with a set of attributes on the same level.

For example:

{
  "type": "book",
  "name": "Book of success",
