Ahh ok - that helps a bit. Yeah - generally speaking, JSON can become a very powerful tool when referencing large data sets (i.e. bibles) - especially if you're willing to simply use an enormous amount of memory and load an entire bible into a single variable... and let's be honest, ever since Java and Firefox, using large amounts of memory hasn't been an issue for developers.... ;-)
I think it would be a great test-case to build out our own online bible reader (i.e. blueletterbible.org ) that used our modules and extended them through PHP/JSON to the user. I mean, if we just build the API plenty of other developers could carry it from there, yes? It seems to me that there is definitely a need for this growing within the Christian development community... -David On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 9:55 AM, Greg Hellings <greg.helli...@gmail.com>wrote: > While I'm sure the XML->JSON converter is interesting, generating JSON > directly is likely to give you fewer problems. > On that note, my job deals very extensively with JSON, so I'm quite > familiar with the technology. > > --Greg > > > On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 10:53 AM, David Haslam <d.has...@ukonline.co.uk>wrote: > >> >> Hi David, >> >> For my own part, I'm not developing anything in JSON, just seeking to >> understand whether and why JSON might be of potential interest to >> CrossWire >> developers. >> i.e. Got my "lateral thinking hat" on. >> >> This article may of interest. >> >> http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xml2jsonphp/ Convert XML >> to >> JSON in PHP >> >> --David >> >> >> >> FunnyLookinHat wrote: >> > >> > I've worked with JSON - generally speaking, each IDE has it's own plugin >> / >> > library to work with JSON and it functions much like a high level OO >> > class. >> > >> > For example, in PHP - If you decode JSON into a variable, you can access >> > it's various properties as you would any other PHP class variable (i.e. >> > $json_variable->part1). >> > >> > What are you trying to accomplish?
