Book description
Over 80 recipes to make the most of JSON in your desktop, server, web, and mobile applications
In Detail
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text-based data interchange format used to create objects to transfer data over the Internet. It's widely used today by common web applications, as well as mobile applications.
This book gives you clear ways that you can exchange objects using JSON, regardless of whether you're developing a web or traditional networked application. You'll start with a brief refresher on JSON and JavaScript syntax and read and write on the client and server. Then, you'll learn how to use JSON in simple AJAX applications using AngularJS and jQuery. Next, you will learn how to exchange objects with databases using MongoDB and CouchDB. You'll also explore how to use JSON in a type-safe manner, writing programs that have fewer bugs.
What You Will Learn
- Learn to use JSON in a type-safe way to avoid common data typing errors
- Exchange data with NoSQL databases such as MongoDB and CouchDB with JSON
- Make the most of JSON in AJAX web applications, with or without a framework
- Exchange data between servers and mobile applications running on Android and iOS with JSON
- Practical examples to show you how to leverage JSON from a variety of application domains
