Store Scraped Data in JSON Format

After successfully scraping data using Puppeteer, storing the extracted information is essential for further analysis or use in other applications. One popular and versatile data format for storing structured data is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). In this lesson, we’ll learn how to store scraped data using Puppeteer in JSON format.

JSON overview

JSON is a lightweight, human-readable data interchange format widely used for storing and exchanging data. It represents data in a key-value format, allowing for nested structures and arrays. JSON supports various data types, including strings, numbers, boolean, objects, and arrays. JSON is easy to parse and generate, making it an ideal choice for storing structured data. We can access an element in a JSON object using its key.
