JSON file extension in android

A little bit confusion regarding the format of JSON

Many tutorial sites explaining about JSON in android with the URL by the extension .json but some sites explained without the .json extension like

Androidhive example

i am confused to point out my json file in my project whether to make .json or without .json also possible? i created a json file with extension of xyz.com/xyz_json.php

is i am doing a wrong format?

As per my experience of JSON parsing we don't need the .json extension for such files. In some of my projects I have accessed the JSON from .txt files or from only string or directly from the URL. It depends on your's specific scenario.

In 99% of the library or tools you will use in Android for JSON, the extension is not important. As Avijit said, you just have to refer the file with the good URL (however the extension). This is most of the time the same thing in other Linux based systems.
