Learn how to transform a JavaScript object into a JSON string and how to transform the JSON string back into a JavaScript object.

Table of contents

Preface

This module is one in a collection of modules designed for teaching ITSE 1356 Introduction to XML at Austin Community College in Austin, TX.

As mentioned in an earlier module, because JSON is an emerging alternative to XML, beginning in the Fall of 2014, the course will include an introductorysection on JSON. The modules in this collection and the online resources pointed to by these modules will be the primary learning resource for the JSON portionof the course.

Preview

I will present and explain three JavaScript scripts in this module. Each script shows how to transform a JavaScript object into a JSON string andhow to transform the JSON string back into a JavaScript object.

The first script deals with a very simple JavaScript object. The second script deals with a slightly more complex JavaScript object that encapsulatesan array of JavaScript objects.

The third script illustrates how to tell the difference between a JavaScript object in object literal format and a JSON string.

In addition to the three scripts described above, I will provide a word of caution regarding a possible terminology issue on a major technical websiteusing a script from that website as an example of the issue.

General background information

Prerequisite knowledge

In order to understand the material in this module, you will need a moderate understanding of HTML and JavaScript programming.

Questions & Answers

A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
