U can see if a similar thing is available for PHP...maybe someone faced a

The human-readable aspect of JSON is all well and good in theory, but
turns out to be a mute point in practice. Most JSON producers in the
current web landscape tend to use zero whitespaces or formatting,
favoring (for better or worse) lambda resource savings over human
readability. It does, however, make one's life a bit difficult when
you're trying to get accustomed to some new JSON data, especially while
messing with a live service to get a feel for what it produces and how
it works. To help with my own field work, I succumbed to writing my own
JSON pretty printer and colorer in C# after failing to find one. The
purpose of this message is to simply drop a pointer to the
console/terminal tool in case you've felt my pain and are looking for a
relief:

http://www.raboof.com/projects/tidyjson

Tidy JSON will work on Windows with .NET Framework 2.0 and on Linux
boxes with Mono 1.2. The only glitch with the Linux/Mono combo is that
you don't get coloring if you're feeding JSON over standard input to
tidyjson (send me a mail if you know why and/or how to fix it). You just
get pretty printing. Coloring works fine if the JSON data is stored in a
file. On Windows, it works as advertised.

I did a similar thing; the attached HTML page is a stand-alone (html +
javascript) page which contains a text area into which you can paste
json; on submit it is rendered as a set of nested tables in the page.

Pfft.  Thanks, Yahoo Groups...

http://asynchronous.org/2006/json.html.tar.gz is what I'd attached.
It's archived and compressed in an attempt to disallow the evaluation of
javascript in the context of my domain.

...which makes me realize that I should note that it does interpret the
json via simple eval(...), so don't use it for untrusted json
sources. :)

Hi Dear Group Members of Json,

   First of all, I am sending the warm regards to JSON Group members of the New
year.

   And I am a newcomer in JSON groups.

   And dear members of JSON, I have a doubt in JSON.

   Actually I am developer in Java script. On behalf of my work, I heard about
the new JSON, JavaScript Object Notation.

   Actually my real work is that to convert a JSON object file into tree view. So
Dear respected members, can anybody give real idea about the concepts, If so it
will help me well.

   So if anybody get any idea please send the mail to my id
   shijupc123@...
   or
   shijupc@...

   Thankfully
   (SHIJU P.C)

You have the source, you can put them in any time you want to. But
first, let me ask you a question: How confident that your system's
clock has millisecond accuracy? And that the latency of the OS +
Browser + JavaScript will not cause significant drift by the time it
is delivered to your application? How meaningful will the milliseconds
be when you put them on the wire and send them to your server, whose
clock is not in sync with yours? Milliseconds are a waste of time.

There are applications, such as video editing, where subsecond
accuracy is important. If you have such an application, then you would
want to tack on frames or fractional seconds. If you don't really need
it, then it is better to not deceive yourself with false precision.

The parseJSON method currently takes a filter function parameter. It
will be invoked for every name/value in the structure.
myData = text.parseJSON(function (key, value) {         return
key.indexOf('date') >= 0 ? new Date(value) : value;     });
The filtration mechanism is just a general purpose map function. It
could be exposed as a separate method and used independently. If we were
to do that, then it could be used like this:
myData = text.parseJSON().filter(function (key, value) {         return
key.indexOf('date') >= 0 ? new Date(value) : value;     });
Do you think a general purpose .filter method is useful? Should it be
added to ECMAScript?



[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi Douglas,

as I can remember you wrote some weeks ago that parseJSON will be
added, too, I would say yes, and I like the filter method more than
using parameter.

Would this general purpose filter as a property of Object.prototype be
instead of or in addition to the argument to parseJSON?

Could filter take a second parameter to specify if it is "deep" filter
or not? That is, whether or not it will descend through the structure
or only operate on  the top level.

It looks like the general purpose version is not harder to use and
could be useful in many situations (i did something just like it
recently to clean up empty nodes in a structure). It has the feel of
Enumerable.each() in the Prototype library. If this filter is added to
JavaScript perhaps some of the other Ruby enumerable, array and hash
functions could be considered for addition.

Calling it "filter" may cause a namespace problem?

A date object is not necessarily constructed with no arguments sent to
the Date constructor. It could very well be that in some applications
the construction of the Date object could use date data from a user
input which has very accurate and critical milliseconds information
from another very accurate system.

The date object may be historical data that truly is millisecond-
accurate. The object does not have to be constructed when the
dataset is created or by the server that is delivering the dataset.
I more likely will have been created long before, with many date
objects that do need this level of accuracy.

I can see no reason to not to include milliseconds, and many reasons
to keep them.

I'm new to JSON and want to format a number (e.g., 73.50) as a
financial number. The "float" data type treats the number as 73.5 and
drops the trailing zero. My declaration is:

    {"title":"$Sales","dataType":"float", "columnWidth":"80"} ... etc.
    with
    {"v":73.50} ... as the incoming data

I've heard about ways to extend the base data types but this is
probably beyond my current abilities - and I'm looking for the
simplest answers. Is there an easy way to handle this without too many
extensions of the base data types ? Since the end-goal is financial
data, is here a way to build a currency symbol into the data type ?

thanks in advance for any help.

regards,
Lance

Hi,

I just did some tests in some version of Netscape Navigator. The
following fails in version <= 7.1 because the regular expression can't
match the double quotes around the letter 'a' in the json string being
compared to the regular expression. Both NN7.2 and Firefox 1.0 both
return true for this test.

/^("(\\.|[^"\\\n\r])*?"|[,:{}\[\]0-9.\-+Eaeflnr-u \n\r\t])+?$/.test('{"a":3}')

NN6 is capable of all the other JavaScript I am using (Ajax, Dom
manipulation, Events) and it seems ashame this regular expression is
the single part of the JSON library that requires such a new browser.
Would there be a way to write this regular expression so it works as
far back as NN6 or at least farther back than NN7.2? If not what is it
in the regular expression that is failing to recognize this simple
JSON string?

Thank you,
Peter

This isn't a JSON question. It is a JavaScript question.

I don't know what was wrong with NN6. If I were to guess, it would be
that it did not support the lazy quantifiers, *? and +?. If you
replaced them with the greedy quantifiers, * and +, it might work.

But there is a bug in IE6 in which the greedy quantifiers cause the
regexp to run in exponential time. When the text gets big, IE gets
really really slow.

Are people on this list checking out Adobes Spry?

(I ask because it seems to use json.data.recordSets)

I am trying to get JSON object from a JSON string in a cookie. When I
convert the string read from cookie, i still get a string and  not a JSON
object. So i did an eval on the string again and I get the JSON object fine.
is this the right way to do this?
what am i doing wrong?

thanks
mark


here is what i do:
var json_text=getcookie('sub_options');
var json_text_string = eval('(' + json_text + ')');
var options_list= eval('(' + json_text_string + ')');

//to get cookie
function getcookie(cookiename) {
var cookiestring=""+document.cookie;
var index1=cookiestring.indexOf(cookiename);
if (index1==-1 || cookiename=="") return "";
var index2=cookiestring.indexOf(';',index1);
if (index2==-1) index2=cookiestring.length;
return unescape(cookiestring.substring(index1+cookiename.length+1,index2));
}

An example of the use of JSON cookies can be found at
http://www.JSLint.com/index.html

Hii, I am newbie with json. after I read article in
http://www.developer.com/lang/jscript/article.php/10939_3596836_2, I
know that json is faster than xml. I want to know if anybody have the
testing script or algorithm how to prove this issue?
Regards,
Genzoeri.

Why not simply use the parseJSON function?

var myObject = myJSONtext.parseJSON(filter);

(see : http://www.json.org/js.html for more detailed example and
explaination)
