In computer science, an associative array, map, symbol table, or dictionary is an abstract data type that stores a collection of (key, value) pairs, such that each possible key appears at most once in the collection. In mathematical terms, an associative array is a function with finite domain. [1] It supports 'lookup', 'remove', and 'insert ...
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).
So, PHP can have non-consecutively numerically indexed arrays. The keys have to be of integer (floating point numbers are truncated to integer) or string type, while values can be of arbitrary types, including other arrays and objects. The arrays are heterogeneous: a single array can have keys of different types.
The name "BSON" is based on the term JSON and stands for "Binary JSON". [2] It is a binary form for representing simple or complex data structures including associative arrays (also known as name-value pairs), integer indexed arrays, and a suite of fundamental scalar types. BSON originated in 2009 at MongoDB. Several scalar data types are of ...
Dask Bag [15] is an unordered collection of repeated objects, a hybrid between a set and a list. Dask Bag is used to parallelize computation of semi-structured or unstructured data, such as JSON records, text data, log files or user-defined Python objects using operations such as filter, fold, map and groupby.
The Python programming language has a builtin plistlib module to read and write plist files, in Apple's XML or in binary (since Python 3.4). [28] ProperTree is a cross-platform editor that makes use of this library. [29] A third-party library called ccl-bplist has the additional ability to handle NSKeyedArchiver UIDs. [19]
This JavaScript example implementation provides the toJSON method used by the JSON.stringify() [9] function to serialize the class into a simple string instead of a composite data type. It calls Object.freeze() to make the instance immutable. [10] It overrides the built-in toString() method [11] and the valueOf() method. [12]
Douglas Crockford originally wrote json2.js as an API for reading and writing his (then up-and-coming) JSON data format. It became so widely used that browser vendors decided to implement its API natively and turn it into a de facto standard ; Since json2.js now implements features native to newer browsers into older browsers, it has become a ...
