   string EasterSun = EasterSunday(inputYear); 
   Date dEasterSun = date ( EasterSun);
   string df = "%Y-%m-%d";
   JSON holidays ; 
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "New Year's Day", "date", format("%04d-01-01", inputYear));
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "Maundy Thursday", "date", string(dEasterSun -3, df));
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "Good Friday", "date", string(dEasterSun -2, df));
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "Easter Eve", "date", string(dEasterSun -1, df));
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "Easter Sunday", "date", string(dEasterSun, df));
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "Easter Monday", "date", string(dEasterSun+1, df));
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "Labor Day", "date", format("%04d-05-01", inputYear));
   holidays["[]"] = JSON ( "name", "Constitution Day (Norwegian National Day)", "date", format("%04d-05-17", inputYear));

The NorwegianHolidaysENJS Function are using the EasterSunday function as a base to calculate other Norwegian holidays. You can copy the function and change it to fit your countrys holidays. You must also copy the EasterSunday function and place it above this one.

This function is almost an exact copy of the NorwegianHolidaysEN function, with the exception that it returns JSON type instead of a stringified JSON. When used in other ACF functions, it is best to have pure JSON, and not stringified JSON.

Example

From other ACF functions below. 

JSON holidays; 
holdays["a"] = NorwegianHolidaysENJS(2024);

This result in the following JSON object: 

{ "a":[
    {
        "date": "2024-01-01",
        "name": "New Year's Day"
    },
    {
        "date": "2024-03-28",
        "name": "Maundy Thursday"
    },
    {
        "date": "2024-03-29",
        "name": "Good Friday"
    },
    {
        "date": "2024-03-30",
        "name": "Easter Eve"
    },
    {
        "date": "2024-03-31",
        "name": "Easter Sunday"
    },
    {
        "date": "2024-04-01",
