JSON is pronounced Jason
I say Jay-sahn.

Lots of people do, and it makes no sense.

How do you pronounce “J”?

How do you pronounce “son”?

Now put them together.

Oh I get it!

How do you pronounce “e”?

How do you pronounce “yes”?

Now put them together for “eyes”!

Sure, that explains why people pronounce it that way now. What I’m wondering is why people started pronouncing it that way in the first place. When I see the letters JSON, my brain parses it as J-SON. It’s even a common first name ffs.
I couldn’t say. There is an older guy in my group who calls it “Jason”. Also we have 2 guys on my team named Jason and the back end jason now goes by J-Sahn. I read it j sahn and I have no idea why.
