JSON prompting.

JSON prompting means writing your prompt as structured data instead of a paragraph. Rather than describing what you want in prose, you lay it out in clean fields a machine can read.

The payoff is control. Prose prompts are fuzzy and hard to tweak. A JSON prompt is easy to edit one field at a time, iterate on, and reproduce consistently. You change the lighting value, keep everything else, run it again.

It shines most when you want a hyper-specific style recreated reliably. AI images are the obvious case. If you nail a look you love, the JSON is the recipe, and you can rerun it or hand it to someone else and get the same result.

You don't need it for everything. But the moment you're fighting to reproduce something exactly, switch to JSON and most of that fight goes away.
