Nested JSON is a .JSON file with a large portion of values being other .JSON objects. Compared with Simple JSON, Nested JSON provides higher clarity by decoupling objects into different layers, making it easier to maintain. Keys are stored by separating levels with a dot .
. During export, all keys are again split and rendered in the original nested .JSON structure.
AI chatbots can be very effective at generating a list of keys from a .JSON file.

Code Sample
{ "boolean_key": "--- true\n", "empty_string_translation": "", "key_with_description": "Check it out! This key has a description! (At least in some formats)", "key_with_line-break": "This translations contains\na line-break.", "nested": { "deeply": { "key": "Wow, this key is nested even deeper." }, "key": "This key is nested inside a namespace." }, "null_translation": null, "pluralized_key": { "one": "Only one pluralization found.", "other": "Wow, you have %s pluralizations!", "zero": "You have no pluralization." }, "sample_collection": [ "first item", "second item", "third item" ], "simple_key": "Just a simple key with a simple message.", "unverified_key": "This translation is not yet verified and waits for it. (In some formats we also export this status)" }
This format uses named categories to identify the different pluralizations of a key. The following categories are reserved for plural forms:
.zero | .one | .two | .few | .many | .other
Example names for correctly identified, persisted and marked pluralized keys:
-
inbox.messages.notification.one
-
inbox.messages.notification.other
