JSON, Explained Without the Jargon

JSON shows up everywhere — Power Automate expressions, Power Apps, JavaScript, and countless APIs — but it's rarely taught on its own. This crash course isolates it, starting from everyday examples simple enough for a middle schooler to follow before building up to how JSON structures real data.

No programming background is assumed. The comparison to something more familiar, like CSV, helps frame why JSON exists: a format flexible enough to represent nested, real-world data while staying readable by both people and machines.

Who it's for

Power Platform and workflow-automation learners who need to read and write JSON before tackling expressions, plus anyone else who wants a fast, no-fluff introduction.

Key takeaways

What JSON is and how it compares to formats like CSV
Reading and understanding JSON structure without prior coding experience
Enough confidence to write basic JSON by hand, without relying on online generators

At around an hour long, it's designed to be finished in a single sitting.

About this course

If you are learning Power Platform, Power Automate expressions, PowerApps, JavaScript or any technology that requires JSON and you have no clue what JSON is this course is for you.

You don't need to be a programmer to learn JSON. In fact in this day and age JSON is not for programmers anymore. This course is designed for absolute newbies and you really don't need to be a nerd to find this course interesting.

In this course you will learn JSON from ground zero. We start with daily examples that a middle school child can understand and JSON being so easy by nature doesn't take you too long to master. The course is short and all you need is an hour of your time.

JSON is a simple data format format, just like CSV but with a lot more flexibility and a structure that can express real world data. It is famous because it is understandable by both human and machine. In today world there are lots of online tools that help you write JSON code with easy although after this course, most probably you don't even feel the need for them.

I mainly designed this course for my workflow students that need to have a good grasp of JSON before writing workflow expressions, but this course can be used by anyone who wants to get a quick grasp of JSON regardless of background.
