JavaScript and JSON Essentials: Build light weight, scalable, and faster web applications with the power of JSON, 2nd Edition

The book JSON essential provides a JSON based solution for building web application with using Frontend and backend technologies like html, javascript, angular, node.js, hapi.js, kafka, socket.io, mongodb, gulp.js, handlebar.js with some more case studies like GEOJSON, JSONLD, messagepack and BSON.

Key Features

• Implement JSON with trending technologies like Angular 5, Hapi.js, Mongodb, Kafka, and Socket.io.
• Debug, validate, and format JSON using developer toolkits, JSONLint, and JSON Editor Online
• Study and implement various JSON formats such as GeoJSON, JSONLD, BSON, and MessagePack available for the open source ecosystem

Book Description

JSON is an established standard format used to exchange data. This book shows how JSON plays different roles in full web development through examples. By the end of this book, you'll get new perspectives to provide solutions to your applications and handle complexities.

After establishing a strong foundation on the basics of JSON, you will learn to build frontend apps by creating a carousel. Next, you will learn to implement JSON with Angular 5, Node.js, template embedding, and composer.json in PHP. This book will also help you implement Hapi.js for server-side scripting which is known for its JSON configurable architecture. You will learn to implement JSON for real-time apps using kafka, use JSON for a task runner, and MongoDB BSON storage. The book ends with some case studies on JSON formats to help you sharpen your creativity by exploring the futuristic JSON implementations.

By the end of the book you will be up and running with all the essential features of JSON and JavaScript to build fast, scalable, and efficient web applications.

What you will learn

• Understand where cross-domain asynchronous requests fail and how cross-domain asynchronous calls could be used instead to make asynchronous calls
• Use JSON to store metadata for dependency managers, package managers, configuration managers, and metadata stores
• Handle Asynchronous behaviour in applications using callbacks, promises, and generators
• Use JSON for Angular 5, Node.js, Gulp.js, Hapi.js
• Implement JSON as BSON in mongoDB
• Make use of JSON in developing automation scripts
