    JSON and XML are data description languages that can be used to exchange information between applications independently of platform. Both use tags or objects and arrays to structure data, with XML focusing on elements, tags, nodes and attributes while JSON structures data as JavaScript objects and arrays. While JSON has advantages of being more concise and supported by many AJAX tools, XML provides more robust development tools and supports namespaces, but is more complex for nested objects. Both can be used to power dynamic web pages by using JavaScript and Ajax to retrieve remote XML or JSON data from a PHP server.

    Juan Antonio Snchez Arbs

    XML and JSON Similarities

    Are a data-description language Information about the elements Easy to understand the content
    Standards for exchange information Can be used on all applications independent of the platform Mostly used for exchange web messages

    XML Structure

    Elements, Tags, Nodes, Attributes

    Well Formed and Validity Access by XML DOM of JavaScript

    JSON Structure

    Based on Javascript Objects and Arrays

    Returned like a plain text Parsed to Array with:


    Eval(text) Text.parseJSON()

    Strengths and Weaknesses

    JSON Strengths against XML


    Automated serializing of objects Concise Format (Name/Value) Supported by many AJAX toolkits Type check No namespace support Difficult to create nested objects Limited development tools Narrow Focus -> RPC only

    JSON Weaknesses against XML


    JSON & XML

    Example: Book Store HTML Page to show the data JavaScript + Ajax to get the XML / JSON

    PHP Server to create a JSON or XML response.
