INTRODUCTION TO { JSON}

SIR GERRY S. GOHIL, JR.

IT INSTRUCTOR
WHAT IS JSON?
• JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format . It is
easy for humans to read and write.
• It is easy for machines to parse and generate.
• JSON is a text format that is completely language independent.
• The format was specified by Douglas Crockford.
JSON SYNTAX RULES

JSON syntax is derived from JavaScript object notation syntax:

• Data is in name/value pairs ex. Id: 1234

• Data is separated by commas ex. Id:1, name =“John”
• Curly braces hold objects ex. { Id: “2”}
• Square brackets hold arrays ex. Guitars:[brand:”Yamaha”]
 JSON VS XML

JSON is Like XML Because JSON is Unlike XML Because

• Both JSON and XML are "self describing" • JSON doesn't use end tag
(human readable) • JSON is shorter
• Both JSON and XML are hierarchical • JSON is quicker to read and write
(values within values) • JSON can use arrays
• Both JSON and XML can be parsed and
used by lots of programming languages
• Both JSON and XML can be fetched with
an XMLHttpRequest

EXAMPLE
JSON VALUES

In JSON, values must be one of the following data types:

an object (JSON object)

a string
a number
an array
a boolean
null
JSON Forms: An Object
 An object is an unordered set of name/value
pairs.
 An object begins with { (left brace) and ends
with } (right brace)
 Each name is followed by : (colon) and the
name/value pairs are separated by, (comma)
JSON Forms: An Array
 An array is an ordered collection of values.
 An array begins with [ (left bracket) and ends with ] (right bracket)
 Values are separated by, (comma)
JSON Forms: A value
 A value can be a string in double quotes , or a number, or true or false
or null, or an object or an array.
 These structures can be nested.
JSON Forms: A String
 A string is a sequence of zero or more
Unicode characters, wrapped in double
quotes, using backslash escapes.
 A character is represented as a single
character string.
 A string is very much lick a C or Java string.
JSON Forms: A Number
 A number is very much like a C or Java
number, except that the octal and
hexadecimal formats are not used.
JSON Forms: A Boolean
 It includes true or false values.
JSON Forms: A whitespace and null
 Whitespace can be inserted between any pair
of tokens. It can be added to make a code
more readable. Example shows declaration
with and without whitespace −
 A null means empty
