When building applications, there is often the need to represent objects using a wire protocol that is both structured and human-readable. The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format is a popular and widely used data format for this very purpose.
Use this course to get familiar with how JSON format is used to represent data. Examine how simple primitives, entities, and arrays are represented in JSON and the use of JSON Simple library to create JSON objects. You'll also learn more about the SAX-based interface, the JSON Simple library, and the JSONAware and JSONStreamAware interfaces.
After completing this course, you will have the knowledge to work with JSON data, serialize structures to the JSON format, and parse JSON data to get Java objects.
