This "wrapped payload" is then interpreted by the browser. In this way, a function that is already defined in the JavaScript environment can manipulate the JSON data. A typical JSONP request and response are shown below. The function call to parseResponse() is the "P" of JSONP—the "padding" or "prefix" around the pure JSON. [4]
JSON-RPC (JavaScript Object Notation-Remote Procedure Call) is a remote procedure call (RPC) protocol encoded in JSON. It is similar to the XML-RPC protocol, defining only a few data types and commands. JSON-RPC allows for notifications (data sent to the server that does not require a response) and for multiple calls to be sent to the server ...
JSON Pointer [10] defines a string syntax for identifying a single value within a given JSON value of known structure. JSONiq [11] is a query and transformation language for JSON. XPath 3.1 [12] is an expression language that allows the processing of values conforming to the XDM [13] data model. The version 3.1 of XPath supports JSON as well as ...
XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is an API in the form of a JavaScript object whose methods transmit HTTP requests from a web browser to a web server. [1] The methods allow a browser-based application to send requests to the server after page loading is complete, and receive information back. [2] XMLHttpRequest is a component of Ajax programming.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, pronounced / ˈ dʒ eɪ s ən / or / ˈ dʒ eɪ ˌ s ɒ n /) is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of name–value pairs and arrays (or other serializable values).
The various possibilities are described at mw:API. The idea is to send an AJAX request (see below) to the API containing a query. The result of this query can be returned in several formats, of which JSON is perhaps the most useful, see below.
Visiting the above URL in a web browser will initiate a GET request, calling the API and showing the user a result, known as a return value or as a return. This API returns JSON, a type of data format intended to be understood by computers, but which is somewhat easy for a human to read as well. In this case, the JSON contains information about ...
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is often used as an alternative format for data interchange, [15] although other formats such as preformatted HTML or plain text can also be used. [16] A variety of popular JavaScript libraries, including JQuery, include abstractions to assist in executing Ajax requests.
