Definition: The Hebrew term "JSON" stands for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). This notation is a standard format used to encode data in JSON formats, particularly popular among web developers. It's primarily used for structured data storage that doesn't require dynamic or reflowed content.
For instance, when you're building an iOS app that needs to be stored as JSON data, you typically use this standard format.
Hereβs a brief overview:
1.
JSON
is a compact data format with no additional overhead compared to XML.
2.
Notation
- It's not necessary for web development but can be used in other contexts like serialization of data between languages.
3.
Object Notation
β This method of encoding data follows the object-oriented paradigm, where each item in the JSON is considered an "object" with properties and values.
The key difference between these two formats is that JSON is more efficient for storing large amounts of structured data as it only has to store objects' keys and their associated values. However, it's less powerful compared to XML, which handles complex nested structures better.
JSON wrapper refers to a function used to convert one JSON object into another by replacing the internal structure with an equivalent object. This is often done in programming languages that support JSON syntax (like Python, JavaScript) or where conversion between objects is required.
