-- The JSON is valid either way, but encoding this way, apparently, allows the resulting JSON-- to also be valid Java.---- AMBIGUOUS SITUATIONS DURING THE ENCODING---- During the encode, if a Lua table being encoded contains both string-- and numeric keys, it fits neither JSON's idea of an object, nor its-- idea of an array.
BER: variable-length big-endian binary representation (up to 2 2 1024 bits); PER Unaligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range; a variable number of bits otherwise; PER Aligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range and the size of the range is less than 65536; a variable number of octets ...
Although Crockford originally asserted that JSON is a strict subset of JavaScript and ECMAScript, [15] his specification actually allows valid JSON documents that are not valid JavaScript; JSON allows the Unicode line terminators U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR and U+2029 PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR to appear unescaped in quoted strings, while ECMAScript 2018 ...
For types 2 (byte string) and 3 (text string), the count is the length of the payload. For types 4 (array) and 5 (map), the count is the number of items (pairs) in the payload. For type 6 (tag), the payload is a single item and the count is a numeric tag number which describes the enclosed item.
MessagePack is more compact than JSON, but imposes limitations on array and integer sizes.On the other hand, it allows binary data and non-UTF-8 encoded strings. In JSON, map keys have to be strings, but in MessagePack there is no such limitation and any type can be a map key, including types like maps and arrays, and, like YAML, numbers.
The nebulous JSON 'number' type is strictly defined in Ion to be one of int: Signed integers of arbitrary size; float: 64-bit IEEE binary-encoded floating point numbers; decimal: Decimal-encoded real numbers of arbitrary precision; Ion adds these types: timestamp: Date/time/time zone moments of arbitrary precision
Length-prefixed JSON is also well-suited for TCP applications, where a single "message" may be divided into arbitrary chunks, because the prefixed length tells the parser exactly how many bytes to expect before attempting to parse a JSON string. This example shows two length-prefixed JSON objects (with each length being the byte-length of the ...
In computer programming, a variable-length array (VLA), also called variable-sized or runtime-sized, is an array data structure whose length is determined at runtime, instead of at compile time. [1] In the language C , the VLA is said to have a variably modified data type that depends on a value (see Dependent type ).
