# = JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)

[3] Fix | Delete

[4] Fix | Delete

# JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for us

[5] Fix | Delete

# humans to read and write. Plus, equally simple for machines to generate or parse.

[6] Fix | Delete

# JSON is completely language agnostic, making it the ideal interchange format.

[7] Fix | Delete

#

[8] Fix | Delete

# Built on two universally available structures:

[9] Fix | Delete

# 1. A collection of name/value pairs. Often referred to as an _object_, hash table, record, struct, keyed list, or associative array.

[10] Fix | Delete

# 2. An ordered list of values. More commonly called an _array_, vector, sequence or list.

# == Parsing JSON

[15] Fix | Delete

#

[16] Fix | Delete

# To parse a JSON string received by another application or generated within

[17] Fix | Delete

# your existing application:

[18] Fix | Delete

#

[19] Fix | Delete

# require 'json'

[20] Fix | Delete

#

[21] Fix | Delete

# my_hash = JSON.parse('{"hello": "goodbye"}')

[22] Fix | Delete

# puts my_hash["hello"] => "goodbye"

[23] Fix | Delete

#

[24] Fix | Delete

# Notice the extra quotes <tt>''</tt> around the hash notation. Ruby expects

[25] Fix | Delete

# the argument to be a string and can't convert objects like a hash or array.

[26] Fix | Delete

#

[27] Fix | Delete

# Ruby converts your string into a hash

[28] Fix | Delete

#

[29] Fix | Delete

# == Generating JSON

[30] Fix | Delete

#

[31] Fix | Delete

# Creating a JSON string for communication or serialization is

[32] Fix | Delete

# just as simple.

[33] Fix | Delete

#

[34] Fix | Delete

# require 'json'

[35] Fix | Delete

#

[36] Fix | Delete

# my_hash = {:hello => "goodbye"}

[37] Fix | Delete

# puts JSON.generate(my_hash) => "{\"hello\":\"goodbye\"}"

[38] Fix | Delete

#

[39] Fix | Delete

# Or an alternative way:

[40] Fix | Delete

#

[41] Fix | Delete

# require 'json'

[42] Fix | Delete

# puts {:hello => "goodbye"}.to_json => "{\"hello\":\"goodbye\"}"

[43] Fix | Delete

#

[44] Fix | Delete

# <tt>JSON.generate</tt> only allows objects or arrays to be converted

[45] Fix | Delete

# to JSON syntax. <tt>to_json</tt>, however, accepts many Ruby classes

[46] Fix | Delete

# even though it acts only as a method for serialization:

[47] Fix | Delete

#

[48] Fix | Delete

# require 'json'

[49] Fix | Delete

#

[50] Fix | Delete

# 1.to_json => "1"

[51] Fix | Delete
