Why AI Uses JSON

In modern AI development, JSON is extremely important:

  1. Structured Outputs: When we ask AI models (like Gemini or OpenAI) to generate data, we often tell them to respond in JSON. This makes it easy for our code to parse and use the AI's response.
  2. Function Calling: AI agents communicate which tools or functions they want to run by sending parameters in the JSON format.
