Hanjst uses JSON for data transition from back-end to front-end.
JSON is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).
As described in JSON homepage,
It 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 the JavaScript.
JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
Therefore JSON is an ideal data structure for GWA2 with Java, PHP, Perl, Python and Aspx. From a engineer’s perspective, JSON is also easily-understood and clear, clean and concise textual representation.
Even out of GWA2, Hanjst can work well with any other unlisted languages in back-end.
According to JSON homepage, almost every language has at least one available and open source library to transform data in its own structure from and to JSON.
Hanjst reads data in JSON from the client-side page.
JSON is a built-in object in JavaScript which is one of three components of HTML, CSS and JavaScript in front-end. So it is quite friendly for Hanjst to retrieve data from Hanjstjsondata.
That’s also another key point which drives us make this commitment to choosing JSON as the carrier of inter-change data.
