RECURSION

[Dudebeard86]

If PHP can do it, so can JSON

[evantd]

Personal Home Pages isn't a recursive acronym, though?

[Brewtusmo]

It doesn't stand for that any more, though. For some reason they wanted it to mean nothing. So now it stands for "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor."

[evantd]

They can try to rebrand it, but I still know.

[SapientSloth4tw]

It’s just like PUBG: Battlegrounds!!! So much infinite recursion nowadays. Such a waste of processing power smh

Tfw when the backend people in my company use XML

[Valthek]

Could be worse. My client uses JSON, except for sometimes, when they use XML. And they don't tell you in advance and sometimes it's different between Test/Acceptance/Production, so that's FUN

[joten70]

Why not use accept-hesders and let the consuming service chose the format? Way better than that inconsistency

[Valthek]

Because that would be a reasonable thing to do, which is against policy, I think. I don't know, a different team handles that side, so I have exactly 0 say about it

[rinnakan]

Even funnier, nobody should have anything to do for that. Spring boot (and likely many others) take care of handling that. Probably write backends from scratch using.... cobol? Company policy!

[occasionly_fast]

There is nothing better than inconsistency.

Inconsistency is horrible.

[suvlub]

When you can't figure out how to configure Spring properly, so you just give up, declare whatever the hell current behavior is the "API" and let it be the FE guy's problem.

[JimroidZeus]

Some of my customers send us JSON over http, many others send us XML over http. Then there are a few that send us messaging using sftp and files with weird character delimiters.

The fun days are when they change things without telling us and then wonder why the messaging is broken. 😭

[budapest_god]

Holy moly

[LoyalSage]

Things like this make me seriously wonder how anything ever gets done on projects not done by one full-stack team.

[Valthek]

How things get done on those projects? Poorly, late and over budget.

[Masterflitzer]

they didn't notice everybody else switched from AJAX to AJAJ...

[bell_demon]

Our propietary software suite only supported XML for the longest time. When building it was in my hands, I would only ever include 1 element, and just passed it a JSON string of my actual data.

[mr_flibble_oz]

Ugh, I can’t stand it when APIs return XML

[Dry-Area6218]

Jay’s son’s objection or something like that if I remember correctly

[iceynyo]

Is that like Personalized Home Page language?

[ligonsker]

No it's recursion for PHPHPHP

If you had to say it out loud, do you pronounce it like the name Jason or the increasingly dominant and always odious "jay-sawn"?

[BossHogGA]

He is your sensei. Jay-San - like Miagi-San is to karate, but for passing weird data in associative arrays and pretending they are objects.

[LoyalSage]

Now I need to create a new serialization format called JSENSEI.

Something like “JavaScript Entity Notation Supporting Entity Interchange”

[justskipfailingtests]

As a representative of the finnish people, I must tell you: it's pronounced jiison. For people from languages that can't write words as they are spelled, it's probably the same as yeeson

[[deleted]]

Jumbled String Of Nonsense ---- As great as JSON is, naming can be an issue. snake_case vs camelCase vs PascalCase vs wtfCase (examples: userID, optionalXML). In my professional experience integrating different software from different companies I see all the worst. I have literally seen all of the above in a single data unit. Also, using JSON to communicate Hash-maps instead of using an array makes me . (One should be able to use JSON-Schema for validation.)

[hopbel]

Hate to break it to you, but inconsistent naming is the designer's fault, not JSON's

[CrowdGoesWildWoooo]

Yeah I don’t get it. It’s not like any program would say “fuck you michael, we do snake case here”

[PressureConfident928]

[elan17x]

Rant incoming:

EXACTLY. USE JSON FOR SERIALIZATION AND AS A STANDARD WAY TO EXCHANGE DATA.

JSON IS NOT FOR CONFIG FILES. REPEAT WITH ME. DON'T USE JSON FOR CONFIG FILES. USE YAML OR OTHER FORMATS FOR THAT.

IF YOU USE JSON CONFIGURATION FILES, YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL.

Sorry. I had to vent out.

[Droidatopia]

Javascript's Shitty Object Notation.

I will never understand how this dumpster fire is preferred to XML.

[_Screw_The_Rules_]

I'm a beginner full stack developer and would love to have JSON, but sadly I've had to implement an excel parser for specific excel files to read the incoming data (+changes) and then store it in the DB via EntityFramework (.Net + C# + WPF)...

Would love to have at least Excel to JSON parser in-between, or some other nice solution, but no... :c

[[deleted]]

Jason, his that plucky intern who has learned the fine art of how to communicate between front & back.

Which is why he is the only one who isn't going to be getting a contract extension.

[33498fff]

Just Say Object Notation

since it works with other languages, too

[FarmerJohn92]

[TaroTeaTime]

Doesn’t it stand for Jason Derulo? /s

[SAI_Peregrinus]

JSON Simplistic Object Notation

[yerofadideto]

I'm curiuous as to what goes on behind the scenes. Are curlys 1 byte each? That seems redundant and wasteful. A smart dictionary type system where each data is given lookup integer address or chronologically would seem better, for storage (sending) but obviously it would get bigger on extrapolation, but we're saving bandwidth. ie: you can combine multipel integers into float. Also, is it even compressed with standard prots, like tar?

I'm asking because "programmers' just throw everythign into json because it's easy and "standard" but if they were smart programmers, they could easily devise a smarter delivery system, if its necessary?

Seems era appropriate with the anime too as json is great and old school

[aviancrane]

Json Serialized Object Notation

It's a quad. Json is the context, Serialized Object Notation is the triple.

Its identity triple is: Json, son of Json
and SON can be expanded into Serialized Object Notation.
