JSON-JavaScript Object Notation is a lightweight data-interchange format.It is easy for humans to read and write.It is easy for machines to parse and generate.It is based on a subset of JavaScript Language.
JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses convention that is familiar to the programmars of the c-family language,including c, c++, java,perl,python ,javascript and many others.These properties make the JSON an ideal data interchange language.
JSON is built on two structures:
1. A collection of name/value pairs.
2. A ordered list value.( List,Vector, ArrayList)
These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another. It makes sense that a data format that is interchangable with programming languages also be based on these structures.
var array = eval("[1,2,3]");
array[0]; // 1
array[1]; // 2
array[2]; // 3
function showJSON() {
var user =
{
"username":"andy",
"age":20,
"info": { "tel": "123456", "cellphone": "98765"},
"address":
[
{"city":"beijing","postcode":"222333"},
{"city":"newyork","postcode":"555666"}
]
}
alert(user.username);
alert(user.age);
alert(user.info.cellphone);
alert(user.address[0].city);
alert(user.address[0].postcode); }
will focus on the json for details
