# JSON (built-in)

Store messages in JSON files, with one file per locale.

This format is built in, and used if you configure [`format: 'json'`](https://cli.eloqnt.dev/docs/configuration#messages-format) in [`.eloqnt/config.ts`](https://cli.eloqnt.dev/docs/configuration).

By using this format, stored messages will look like this:

```json title="messages/de.json"
{
  "HomePage": {
    "title": "Hallo!"
  }
}
```

The format is implemented by [`@eloqnt/format-json`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@eloqnt/format-json).
