JSON Simply is a way of representation of data and its access and this is by default supported by javascript
JSON is a subset of the object literal notation of JavaScript. Since JSON is a subset of JavaScript,
it can be used in the language with no muss or fuss.
var myJSONObject = {"bindings": [
{"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", "method": "newURI", "regex": "^http://.*"},
{"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", "method": "deleteURI", "regex": "^delete.*"},
{"ircEvent": "PRIVMSG", "method": "randomURI", "regex": "^random.*"}
]
};
Members can be retrieved using dot or subscript operators.
myJSONObject.bindings[0].method // "newURI"
To convert a JSON text into an object, you can use the eval() function. eval() invokes the JavaScript compiler. Since JSON is a proper subset of JavaScript, the compiler will correctly parse the text and produce an object structure. The text must be wrapped in parens to avoid tripping on an ambiguity in JavaScript's syntax.
var myObject = eval('(' + myJSONtext + ')');
