<h1 style="text-align: center;">object - json</h1>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><br />[what]</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>] json stands for javascript object notation,</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] with json you can create js objects by simply defining them, similar to specify an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">object literal</span></li>
<li>] with json you can pass objects to ...</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] you create an object&nbsp;by simply using the kewyord var to create the name and then assigning&nbsp;a set of empty braces {} to that name;</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] var myObject = {};</li>
<li>] the example above wont do much(or anything) at this point but it is a valid js object</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] the&nbsp;example&nbsp;below&nbsp;to see what&nbsp;the previous object looks like declared using json</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] did you notice its exactly the same as the object literal declaration of an object</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] in js an "object" consists of name value pairs, names and values are separted by a colon : and&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] so if we wanted our object to have an id property, we would give it a name value pair of name=id and value=whatever value that we wanted to assign to the id property</li>
<li>] SO for exampled if we wanted name - id , with an id value of 3</li>
<li>] var myObject = {id:3}</li>
</ol>
<li><strong>] JSON objects !=== the&nbsp;JSON object</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] the JSON object - has methods for parsing JSON objects (turning json into objects)&nbsp;and stringify (turning json objects into strings )</li>
</ol></ol>
<h2>[why]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] JSON is a data interchange format - typically used to pass application data between .... and ....</li>
</ol>
<h2>[when]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] var myCar = JSON.parse(myCarInJson);</li>
<li>] var myCarToJson = JSON.stringify(myCar);</li>
</ol>
<h2>[example]</h2>
<p>var myObject = {<br />"name":"dons object",<br />"function":"getName(){alert(myObject.name);}"<br />}</p>
<h2>[how-to]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] if your object has more then 1 property(most all do),<ol>
<li>] seperate ,each name/value pair&nbsp;with a comma in your object declaration</li>
</ol></li>
<li>] SO for example, lets add another property to our object named "L1" and assign it the value of "subjects"</li>
<ol>
<li>var myObject = {id:3,L1:"subjects"}</li>
</ol>
<li>] if your object has even more properties, just keep on seperating each additional name/value pair with commas</li>
<ol>
<li>var myObject = {id:3,L1:"subjects",L2:"objects",L3:"systems"}</li>
</ol></ol>
