JSON

Struktur von JSON

{
	"key": "vaule",
	"string": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit",
	"number": -123.456,
	"object":{
		"key": "value"
	},
	"array": ["foo","bar"],
	"boolean": true,
	"empty": null
}

Size: 169 Bytes

Vergleich zu XML

<object>
	<key>vaule</key>
	<string>Lorem ipsum dolor sit</string>
	<number>-123.456</number>
	<object>
		<key>value</key>
	</object>
	<array>foo</array><array>bar</array>
	<bolean>true</bolean>
	<empty>null</empty>
</object>

Size: 226 Bytes

Vorteile gegenüber XML

Kleinere Datei, verschiedene Daten-Typen (string, number, object, array, boolean, empty), einfaches Parsing in JavaScript, PHP, Objective-C usw.

Parsing JSON

jQuery

$.ajax({
	url: "example.json",
	success: function(data){
		alert(data.string);
	}
});

PHP

$url = "example.json";
$file_content = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($file_content);
echo $data->string;
