How do I send JSON Payload to the server?
To send the JSON payload to the server{{ using LANG}}, you need to enclose the JSON data in the HTTP request body and indicate the data type of the request body with the "Content-Type: application/json" request header. If the client expects a response from the server in JSON format, it also needs to send the "Accept: application/json" header to the server. In this {{LANG}} JSON Payload Example, we send JSON to the ReqBin echo URL. Click Send to execute the {{LANG}} JSON Payload request online and see the results.

How do I return JSON in response?
To return JSON from the server, you must include the JSON data in the body of the HTTP response message and provide a "Content-Type: application/json" response header. The Content-Type response header allows the client to interpret the data in the response body correctly. In this {{LANG}} JSON response example, we send a request to the ReqBin echo URL and provide the "Accept: application/json" request header to tell the server that the {{LANG}} client is expecting JSON. In response to our request, the server sends a JSON response and includes the "Content-Type: application/json" and Content-Length headers, which indicate the type and size of the data in the response body. Click Send to execute {{LANG}} JSON response example online, and see the results.

How do I use JSON pagination?
JSON pagination is used when the number of elements returned in the server's JSON response is too large. The server can limit the number of items in the JSON to a small subset ("page") of the total available set to reduce the amount of data transferred from the server and speed up the server response time. The server will then provide links to get the previous and next JSON pages from the dataset. In this {{LANG}} JSON pagination example, we limit the number of items in JSON to 5 and provide links to the previous and next JSON pages in the links JSON object. Click Send to execute {{LANG}} JSON Pagination example online and see the results.

How do I add comments to JSON?
JSON is not intended and does not support comments by design, which means that comments in the form // ... or / * ... * / are not allowed in JSON files. But there is a workaround for adding comments to JSON files. To do this, you need to add an element to your JSON file, such as "_comment," which will contain your comment. The JSON API endpoint must ignore this particular JSON comment element. In this JSON comment example, we have included two comment elements in the JSON data, which you can see below.

What is the correct JSON Response Format?
For the server to respond in JSON format, include the JSON data in the response message body and specify the "Content-Type: application/json" HTTP header. The server may also set the Content-Length header to indicate the length of the JSON data in the response. If the Content-Length HTTP header is not set, then the HTTP/1.0 server closes the stream after sending the JSON data, and the HTTP/1.1 server sends the JSON data in a chunked transfer encoding format. In this JSON Response Format example, we send a request to the ReqBin echo URL to get JSON Response from the server. Click Send to execute the JSON Response Format example online and see the results.
