JSON vs XML

For AJAX applications, JSON is faster and easier than XML:
Using XML
  • Fetch an XML document
  • Use the XML DOM to loop through the document
  • Extract values and store in variables
Using JSON
  • Fetch a JSON string
  • JSON.Parse the JSON string

JSON Object Creation in JavaScript

<h2>JSON Object Creation in JavaScript</h2>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
var text = '{"name":"John Johnson","street":"Oslo West 16","phone":"555 1234567"}'

var obj = JSON.parse(text);

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
obj.name + "<br>" +
obj.street + "<br>" +
obj.phone;
</script>

</body>
</html>

What is JSON

  • JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation
  • JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format
  • JSON is language independent *
  • JSON is "self-describing" and easy to understand

XML example defines an employees object with 3 employee records

<employees>
    <employee>
        <firstName>John</firstName> <lastName>Doe</lastName>
    </employee>
    <employee>
        <firstName>Anna</firstName> <lastName>Smith</lastName>
    </employee>
    <employee>
        <firstName>Peter</firstName> <lastName>Jones</lastName>
    </employee>
</employees>

JSON example defines an employees object, with an array of 3 employee records

{"employees":[
    {"firstName":"John""lastName":"Doe"}, 
    {"firstName":"Anna""lastName":"Smith"},
    {"firstName":"Peter""lastName":"Jones"}
]}

C programming examples

asp.net complete lifecycle of a Web page

  • Page request - During this stage, ASP.NET makes sure the page either parsed or compiled and a cached version of the page can be sent in response
  • Start - During this stage sets the Request and Response page properties and the page check the page request is either a postback or a new request
  • Page Initialization - During this stage, the page initialize and the control's Unique Id property are set
  • Load - During this stage, if the request is postback, the control properties are loaded without loading the view state and control state otherwise loads the view state
  • Validation - During this stage, the controls are validated
  • Postback event handling - During this stage, if the request is a postback, handles the event
  • Rendering - During this stage, the page invokes the Render method to each control for return the output
  • Unload - During this stage, when the page is completely rendered and sent to the client, the page is unloaded.
