JSON is a file format for storing and sharing data that uses human-readable text. Your JSON backup file is named like this: your_account_address.json. Unlike your mnemonic phrase, your JSON backup file is password-protected. It has all the information to restore your account, but you cannot just read it because it is encrypted for safety. To restore your account with the JSON backup file, you must have both the file and the password to decrypt it. If you don't have a backup file yet, you can create it for your account or all of them at once.
