{{</* tabs items="JSON,YAML,TOML" */>}}

  {{</* tab */>}}**JSON**: JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a standard text-based format for representing structured data based on JavaScript object syntax.{{</* /tab */>}}

Use `defaultIndex` property to specify the selected tab. The index starts from 0.

```
{{</* tabs items="JSON,YAML,TOML" defaultIndex="1" */>}}
