Order / Invoice JSON Example with Line Items and Totals

The example

The JSON above is the example. Explore it in the Tree tab, press Download to save it as a .json file, or Share to send someone a link to it. All names, ids, emails and values are invented.

Fields explained

Path	Type	Notes
`orderId`	string	A readable identifier. Strings avoid precision problems with long numbers.
`status`	string	One of a small set of values such as pending, paid or shipped.
`items[].unitPriceCents`	number	Price in the smallest currency unit, an integer.
`totals`	object	Computed amounts, also in cents. totalCents = subtotal + shipping + tax.
`placedAt`	string	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp.

Read it in code

JavaScript:

const total = data.items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.quantity * i.unitPriceCents, 0); // 3290

Python:

total = sum(i["quantity"] * i["unitPriceCents"] for i in data["items"])  # 3290

What this example is good for

Testing checkout, invoicing and reporting code
Validating the structure with a JSON Schema
Generating typed models for an orders service

Tips

Use integers in the smallest unit (cents) or decimal strings for money, never binary floating point.
Keep line items and totals consistent; recompute totals on the server instead of trusting the client.
