JavaScript and JSON Essentials - Second Edition

By: Bruno Joseph D'mello, Sai S Sriparasa

Overview of this book

JSON is an established and standard format used to exchange data. This book shows how JSON plays different roles in full web development through examples. By the end of this book, you'll have a new perspective on providing solutions for your applications and handling their complexities. After establishing a strong basic foundation with JSON, you'll learn to build frontend apps by creating a carousel. Next, you'll learn to implement JSON with Angular 5, Node.js, template embedding, and composer.json in PHP. This book will also help you implement Hapi.js (known for its JSON-configurable architecture) for server-side scripting. You'll learn to implement JSON for real-time apps using Kafka, as well as how to implement JSON for a task runner, and for MongoDB BSON storage. The book ends with some case studies on JSON formats to help you sharpen your creativity by exploring futuristic JSON implementations. By the end of the book, you'll be up and running with all the essential features of JSON and JavaScript and able to build fast, scalable, and efficient web applications.

Summary


HTTP GET and POST request methods are two of the most popular HTTP methods that are used to transfer data from clients to servers. This chapter provides an in-depth understanding of how the GET and POST request methods are used to transfer data using asynchronous requests. We then proceeded to look at cross-origin resource issues and how can we resolve them. Next, we studied the JSONP implementation on the client-side as well as on the server-side.

Concerning cross-domain asynchronous requests, we used the exception of the <script> tag to perform our JSONP asynchronous script calls to fetch the data from a different domain. In the next chapter, we will be learning about debugging JSON using various client-side tools.
