Parsing and Looping Through JSON Data

For my first ever tutorial on Youtube, I have decided to take on something light. Something not everyone uses but something that can make life easier for programmers. The tutorial shows how to parse and loop through a JSON data received from the server.

JSON or Javascript Object Notation is a data format that is language-independent which makes it easy to pass data without having to worry about syntax conversion.
