JSON - Benefits & Uses

[kpraveenkumars]

Hello.

Can anyone please shed some light how can we use JSON - Javascript Object notation.

I know and have gone through json.org website.

But would like to know more from the experienced users out here regarding JSON.

JSON is a way of formatting data. XML is another method for formatting data. JSON is simpler. JSON comes from one syntax used in js to create objects.

You might use js to make an XMLHttpRequest to the server, and then the server side script could send some data back in JSON format. With one eval() call, the data would become a js object.
