JSON: What It Is, How It Works, and How to Use It
Many sites are sharing data using JSON in addition to RSS feeds nowadays, and with good reason: JSON feeds can be loaded asynchronously much more easily than XML/RSS.
This article will cover the following:
* What is JSON?
* Why does JSON matter?
* How do we load JSON into a project?
We’ll also use our newfound skills with JSON at the end of this project to build a quick app that loads photos from Flickr without requiring a page refresh.
