JavaScript and JSON Essentials

JavaScript and JSON Essentials

4.5 (2)
By: Joseph D'mello, Sai S Sriparasa

Overview of this book

JSON is an established and 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 have a new perspective on providing solutions for your applications and handling their complexities. After establishing a strong basic foundation with JSON, you'll learn to build frontend apps by creating a carousel. Next, you'll 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 (known for its JSON-configurable architecture) for server-side scripting. You'll learn to implement JSON for real-time apps using Kafka, as well as how to implement JSON for a task runner, and for MongoDB BSON storage. The book ends with some case studies on JSON formats to help you sharpen your creativity by exploring futuristic JSON implementations. By the end of the book, you'll be up and running with all the essential features of JSON and JavaScript and able to build fast, scalable, and efficient web applications.

JSON versus BSON


By now, we know JSON very well. Let's learn about BSON with three simple points:

  • MongoDB drivers convert the incoming JSON to binary-encoded JSON called BSON and pass it to the storage engine, currently WiredTiger. Let us visualize it as follows:

In the preceding diagram, the incoming JSON is converted to a binary-serialized JSON-like entity called a BSON Document and then stored in DB.

  • The specifications of BSON provide various benefits, such as it has a small memory print as compared to JSON, it is traversable, and it can be queried as well as quickly parsed for any other language support
  • When the BSON document is retrieved, the data types in BSON specs are converted to type native language data type by mongoDB drivers, which are in turn used by the developer

The developer has nothing to do with BSON directly, they will be working with JSON. It is the MongoDB driver that handles everything.

Note
