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


Debugging, validating, and formatting are three things that developers can never ignore. In this chapter, we have looked at resources such as developer toolkits for browsers, which we can use for debugging and, how we can utilize these developer toolkits; we also saw how to use JSONLint for validation and JSON Editor Online for formatting.

This is the end of JavaScript and JSON Essentials, targeted to provide you with an in-depth insight into how data can be stored and transferred in the JSON data format. We have had hands-on experience of transferring JSON via HTTP asynchronous requests within the same domain and HTTP asynchronous requests across domains. We have also looked at alternative implementations of how the JSON data format can be used. This is a solid start to a long journey towards understanding JSON to develop interactive and responsive web applications. In Chapter 6Building the Carousel Application, we are going to actually apply all the frontend side scripting knowledge...
