JavaZone 2009 - JSON Flickr Integration - Live Coding Session
XML used to be the format of choice for transferring data or content from one system to another. JSON has more or less replaced XML for this task.
Among the reasons is the low amount of overhead surrounding the actual data. Another thing is JSONs readiness when it enters your program: It is a programatic object, immediately after transfer, ready to reveal its data.
This session will demonstrate how little code is actually necessary to do "near" real life integration between two sites using JavaScript and JSON.
It could be done as a 10 minute lightning talk with focus on the client side technologies only. As a 60 minute talk the intro could be longer, and more examples and integrations with other sites like twitter could be shown. Also server side handling of JSON could be demonstrated.
