JSON to intermediate dev projects

1

So I just did the JSON section and felt like it was just a copy paste/ here’s the code with no explanation learning style. Now I have looked at the first intermediate front end challenge and realized that I don’t really know where to get started with the API stuff. Can you guys recommend some more reading/exercises for getting my head around what is going on with JSON and whatever else might come in handy.

To understand AJAX, I would start with this video. As for JSON, just remember that it’s a way to format data to look like a JavaScript object.

Java Script Object Notation

var JSONObject = {
    "name": "Daryl",
    "weapon": "Crossbow"
};

console.log(JSONObject.name); // "Daryl"

Thanks. Super helpful. The FCC stuff just sort of launches into it without explaining what it is, and what it does.
