Scratch is Very complicated instead of easy

Scratch is

EASY

But actually harder which is “{”targets":[{“isStage”:true,“name”:“Stage”,“variables”:{"`jEk@4|i[#*?(8x)AV.-my variable":},“lists”:{},“broadcasts”:{},“blocks”:{},“comments”:{},“currentCostume”:0,“costumes”:,“sounds”:,“volume”:100,“layerOrder”:0,“tempo”:60,“videoTransparency”:50,“videoState”:“on”,“textToSpeechLanguage”:null},{“isStage”:false,“name”:“Sprite1”,“variables”:{},“lists”:{},“broadcasts”:{},“blocks”:{},“comments”:{},“currentCostume”:0,“costumes”:,“sounds”:,“volume”:100,“layerOrder”:1,“visible”:true,“x”:-5,“y”:-6,“size”:100,“direction”:90,“draggable”:false,“rotationStyle”:“all around”}],“monitors”:,“extensions”:,“meta”:{“semver”:“3.0.0”,“vm”:“1.5.92”,“agent”:“Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/116.0.0.0 Safari/537.36”}}"

That's the `project.json` file. It's actually way easier to understand if you properly format it:

  "targets": [
    {

}

As you can see, it stores the setting of every sprite (so its X position, direction, volume and even where its center is), and also every block, in what relation to other blocks it is and where the blocks are. So of course, the `project.json` would be quite long.

You can just focus on the blocks to make it easy, not inspecting (?) the page to reveal the code which makes it hard-

That's a project json file — Technically the inner core of a project, accessible by renaming any project file's file extension from “sb3” to “zip”

But what is your question here?
EDIT: oof, ninja'd.

Thats a project.json file. Scratch may look complicated if you open it.

Also Thats how it works and also THERE ARE 3+ FILES IN THE ZIP

Also — Everything within is the assets of the project using an MD5 hash (if i remember right) as the name.
A default project contains 3 SVG, 2 wav and 1 json.

Heh ok, as the other posts has said, what is your question here? This is the Questions about Scratch forum, and I don’t think you are trying to ask anything-

Yes, those are the assets of the project - they need to store them somewhere.
