Lesson 1 - Intro To Json

This document introduces JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) as a lightweight data format that is easy for humans to read and write and for machines to parse and generate. It provides the syntax rules for JSON, which are derived from JavaScript object notation syntax. It compares JSON to XML, noting that while they are both hierarchical and self-describing, JSON is shorter, easier to read and write, allows use of arrays, and does not require end tags. Examples of JSON objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, null values, and whitespace are also given.

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
JSON VS XML

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
