JSON has become a widely accepted and popular format for data due to it’s platform neutral nature, lightweight format, and it’s ability to convert directly to native JavaScript Objects. JSON is being used everywhere from Web APIs, to noSQL databases, to server side language libraries and client side frameworks.
This course will also address security concerns with JSON, so you can use JSON in your own applications with confidence.
This course will give you not just an understanding of JSON syntax, but and understanding the role JSON is currently playing in the web today.
