Description
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It is a very popular and widely used data format. It is platform neutral which means it will work with any programming language and operating system. It is a light weight format with the ability to convert to native JavaScript objects.
JSON is a bit like XML but simpler and shorter to write. The syntax used is similar to that used by JavaScript . Knowing some JavaScript will be useful hence I have included some lectures like JavaScript variables, operators and functions. JSON can be parsed or interpreted using JavaScript functions so having a basic understanding of JavaScript functions will help when the functions are used to translate JSON.
This is a short video based course of less than 90 minutes long to introduce you to JSON and learn especially how to write and understand JSON syntax. JSON isn’t really a programming language in its own right, it’s more of a data format so understanding some JavaScript concepts will help you understand JSON. A basic knowledge of JavaScript is advised but I have included some useful JavaScript concepts like variables, functions and operators to guide you.
