" on true or false values

The teacher explains that all should use a pair of "", however, he doesn't use them when the values are true or false. Is this the only exception?

Why is that?

[
 {
  "name": "aimee",
  "inoffice": false
 }
]

Hi Silvia,

In JSON, all properties must be put inside " " and for values, you just write like you want. Here is an example:

//JSON Object { "name":"Victor Mercier", //String Data Type "age":15, // Number Data Type isTreehouseModerator:true //Boolean Data Type }

If that helped you, please mark as bets answer to indicate other students your issue is resolved!
