Can a json file contain more than one object?

Can a json file contain more than one object?

For example, can the content of a json file be two objects as the following?

{"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
{"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"}

Some experienced software engineer said that a json file could only contain one object, although other objects could be nested in the object.

Thanks.

That doesn't look much like json, but yes, you can totally have an array of objects in json file. Something like this in your case:

[{"firstName": "John", "lastName": "Smith"},       
{"firstName": "Jane", "lastName": "Doe"}]

A json file may either contain a single object in (which can be complex, with many nested keys) or an array of such objects. It's either curly braces or square brackets on the outside.

Yes.

You can have:

JSONObject = { ObjectOne: { property1: value1 }, ObjectTwo: { property1: value2 }, someProperty: value3, .... }

EDIT: You can also have an array of objects if that suits you better.
