Dear Peter and Duane,

 

I like the idea of a video on XML and JSON more than a talk.  A video posted onto Youtube would be useful for many more people and for many more years as newbies arrive at the ontological stomping ground.

Sincerely,

Peter:

 

There are many statements being made about XML and JSON.  It might be useful for a session on pure technical aspects of XML parsing to help give those who are not familiar with programming a backgrounder on the topic.

 

I'd like to volunteer to give such a session if there is interest.  It may help to facilitate a shared knowledge on the topic.

 

Please let me know and I will arrange to schedule and deliver a session..

 

Duane

JSON was driven by a technical requirement for a lightweight object notation for passing data to and from user interfaces.

 

XML is heavy to parse and there was no JS specific compliant parser.  Even if there was, it would be overkill for most lighter-weight implementations.  For lightweight front ends, serializing data into native _javascript_ objects means they are parsed and can be worked with on the ht display list much more efficiently than XML.  Xml is more for back end to back end.  JSON is for more back end to front end.

FYI, Google adopted ECMA JSON ("_javascript_ Object Notation") for interoperability with the Common Language Infrastructure, not because Google was trying surreptitiously to get LISP into the mainstream based upon a/some belief in its inherent superiority. It is the CLI that prompts W3 to normatively accept JSON as an interchange protocol, not some implicit admission that they made a 'mistake' with XML.

I agree with both of those points.
 
JSON notation (or the very similar LISP notation) could have been
adopted by the W3C for exactly the same purposes, but without the bloat
or excessive coding.  LISP, for example, has a built-in parser that
requires only two operators: CAR and CDR.  (AKA head and tail.)
 
The Google researchers understood those issues very well.  That's why
they adopted JSON.  And the W3C has finally blessed JSON as an option.
 
In 1999, Guha wanted to use LISP notation for RDF.  He was also
working at Netscape then, which had designed JSON.  If the W3C had
let him do what he wanted to do, they would have saved us from the
bloat, excessive coding, and unreadable garbage.
