JSON

File Naming​

Answer: kebab-case​

user-data.json
api-config.json
database-schema.json

Why kebab-case?​

  • Cross-platform safe: No issues with case-insensitive file systems (Windows/macOS)
  • Better readability in file lists and explorers
  • URL-friendly: If files are served over HTTP

Don't confuse​

  • File name: user-config.json (kebab-case) ✓
  • Keys in JSON: "userId": 123 (camelCase) ✓
