,json files on my iMac

Why do I have 1501 .json files on my iMac? I started seeing them about a year ago and do not remember seeing them before that.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.1

Why are .js, .xml, and excel-labs-strings files showing up in file searches on my iMac? When I search for documents on my iMac (2017-Intel), I have tons of .js, AppxManifest.xml, Manifest.xml, excel-labs-strings & excel_python files on my Mac. I deleted Chrome as I only used it for Gmail thinking that was a contributing factor, but I'm still seeing these files. Any ideas or suggestions? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can't say for sure, but I would guess that some Application you starting using at that time, is converting and saving files in that format.
