The example

`balance`	number	A decimal number.
`nickname`	null	An explicit empty value, different from a missing key.
`languages`	array of strings	An ordered list in square brackets.

Read it in code

JavaScript:

const data = JSON.parse(text);
console.log(data.address.city); // "London"

Python:

import json
data = json.loads(text)
print(data["address"]["city"])  # London
