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.

Why reinvent the wheel every time you run into a problem with JavaScript? This cookbook is chock-full of code recipes that address common programming tasks, as well as techniques for building web apps that work in any browser. Just copy and paste the code samples into your project—you’ll get the job done faster and learn more about JavaScript in the process. You'll also learn how to take advantage of the latest features in ECMAScript 5 and HTML5, including the new cross-domain widget communication technique, HTML5's video and audio elements, and the drawing canvas. You'll find recipes for using these features with JavaScript to build high-quality application interfaces. Create interactive web and desktop applications Work with JavaScript objects, such as String, Array, Number, and Math Use JavaScript with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and the canvas element Store data in various ways, from the simple to the complex Program the new HTML5 audio and video elements Implement concurrent programming with Web Workers Use and create jQuery plug-ins Use ARIA and JavaScript to create fully accessible rich internet applications

"This concise guide helps busy IT professionals get up and running quickly with this popular data interchange format, and provides a deep understanding of how JSON works ... begins with an overview of JSON syntax, data types, formatting, and security concerns before exploring the many ways you can apply JSON today. From Web APIs and server-side language libraries to NoSQL databases and client-side frameworks, JSON has emerged as a viable alternative to XML for exchanging data between different platforms. If you have some programming experience and understand HTML and JavaScript, this is your book"--Publisher's description.

The book follows a tutorial-based approach and will teach you how to work with JSON tools, design JSON objects, and how to use different techniques to handle JSON data.This book is a great resource for developers who would like to learn more about JSON and who wish to apply it in their own projects. It will be useful to have some prior knowledge of HTML and JavaScript to help you understand the concepts covered in this book. Some familiarity with a server-side language such as PHP, C#, or Python would also be beneficial, but this is not compulsory.

Beginning JSON is the definitive guide to JSON - JavaScript Object Notation - today’s standard in data formatting for the web. The book starts with the basics, and walks you through all aspects of using the JSON format. Beginning JSON covers all areas of JSON from the basics of data formats to creating your own server to store and retrieve persistent data. Beginning JSON provides you with the skill set required for reading and writing properly validated JSON data. The first two brief chapters of the book contain the foundations of JavaScript as it relates to JSON, and provide the necessary understandings for later chapters. Chapters 3 through 12 reveal what data is, how to convert that data into a transmittable/storable format, how to use AJAX to send and receive JSON, and, lastly, how to reassemble that data back into a proper JavaScript object to be used by your program. The final chapters put everything you learned into practice.

This book is an exploration of JavaScript Standard Object Notation (JSON). Most of you might have heard about it, and it is used for displaying data on web browsers. JSON supports conversions. This means that we are able to convert data from one format to another format. For instance, we can convert JSON objects into some JavaScript strings, and the vice versa is true. This book guides you on how to do this. You can also do conversions between Java and JSON, that is, convert Java code to JSON and JSON code to Java code. This can be accomplished by use of the GSON tool. This book guides you on how to use this tool for that purpose. When programming in Python, you will often need to retrieve data. In such a case, you can make use of JSON so as to accomplish this purpose. This book also explores this in detail. The Model-View-Controller model is also supported in JSON. This book guides you on how to implement such architecture with JSON in your applications. We can also work with views, using both XML and JSON. You will learn how to do this. You will also learn how to combine JSON with Android and Go. The following topics are discussed in this book: - Conversions in JSON - Storage and Retrieval of Data in Python with JSON - The Model-View-Controller (MVC) - JSON Web Service - XML and JSON Views - Android and JSON - JSON and Go

Over 90 recipes to help you write clean code, solve common JavaScript problems, and work on popular use cases like SPAs, microservices, native mobile development with Node, React, React Native and Electron. Key FeaturesOver 90 practical recipes to help you write clean and maintainable JavaScript codes with the latest ES8Leverage the power of leading web frameworks like Node and React to build modern web appsFeatures comprehensive coverage of tools and techniques needed to create multi-platform apps with JavaScriptBook Description JavaScript has evolved into a language that you can use on any platform. Modern JavaScript Web Development Cookbook is a perfect blend of solutions for traditional JavaScript development and modern areas that developers have lately been exploring with JavaScript. This comprehensive guide teaches you how to work with JavaScript on servers, browsers, mobile phones and desktops. You will start by exploring the new features of ES8. You will then move on to learning the use of ES8 on servers (with Node.js), with the objective of producing services and microservices and dealing with authentication and CORS. Once you get accustomed to ES8, you will learn to apply it to browsers using frameworks, such as React and Redux, which interact through Ajax with services. You will then understand the use of a modern framework to develop the UI. In addition to this, development for mobile devices with React Native will walk you through the benefits of creating native apps, both for Android and iOS. Finally, you’ll be able to apply your new-found knowledge of server-side and client-side tools to develop applications with Electron. What you will learnUse the latest features of ES8 and learn new ways to code with JavaScriptDevelop server-side services and microservices with Node.jsLearn to do unit testing and to debug your codeBuild client-side web applications using React and ReduxCreate native mobile applications for Android and iOS with React NativeWrite desktop applications with ElectronWho this book is for This book is for developers who want to explore the latest JavaScript features, frameworks, and tools for building complete mobile, desktop and web apps, including server and client-side code.
