Re: [Wikitech-l] What is JSON (in JavaScript code)?

[Strainu]

Thanks Dan and Roy, apparently our TW was overriding JSON for some
reason. Fixed it.

Re: [Wikitech-l] What is JSON (in JavaScript code)?

[Roy Smith]

JSON is Java Script Object Notation.  It's a way of encoding structured data as 
text strings which originated (as in name implies) in javascript, but is now 
widely used as a data exchange format, with support in nearly every programming 
language.  https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json.asp 


But, in the context you're using it, it's a library of JSON parsing and 
encoding functions built into the javascript implementation on most browsers.  
https://www.w3schools.com/Js/js_json_parse.asp 


If you've opened your browser's console, you should be able to type JSON at it 
and get back something like:

> parse()arguments: (...)caller: (...)length: 2name: "parse"__proto__: ƒ 
> ()[[Scopes]]: Scopes[0]stringify: ƒ stringify()Symbol(Symbol.toStringTag): 
> "JSON"__proto__: Object

If you get something like "JSON is not defined", you're probably running an 
ancient browser.

[Dan Andreescu]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON

(supported in most browsers I think, it's just available in the global
scope)
