Overview of this book

If you're writing applications that move structured data from one place to another, this book is for you. This is especially true if you've been using XML to do the job because it's entirely possible that you could do much of the same work with less code and less data overhead in JSON. While the book's chapters make some distinction between the client and server sides of an application, it doesn't matter if you're a frontend, backend, or full-stack developer. The principles behind using JSON apply to both the client and the server, and in fact, developers who understand both sides of the equation generally craft the best applications.

Because it's on top of .NET, you can use third-party libraries such as Json.NET (mentioned in Chapter 1, Reading and Writing JSON on the Client) to convert between JSON and CLR objects. However, there's a better way: the open source library F# Data, which creates native data type providers to process data in a number of different structured formats, including JSON.

Getting ready

Begin by getting a copy of the library, available at https://github.com/fsharp/FSharp.Data. Once you download it, you'll need to build it; you can do this by running the build.cmd build batch file that comes with the distribution (for details, see the F# Data website). Alternatively, you can find the same package on NuGet, by choosing Manage NuGet Packages from the Projects menu and searching for F# Data. Once you find it, click on Install. I prefer using NuGet because it automatically...
