JavaScript and JSON Essentials

Posted: 14 Mar 2014 08:10 AM PDT

Book Description

The exchange of data over the Internet has been carried out since its inception. Delimiter-separated lists such as CSV and tag-separated languages such as XML are very popular, yet they are considered to be verbose by a section of developers. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text-based code to create objects to transfer data over the Internet. It is a data exchange format that is human-readable (like XML, but without the markup around your actual payload) and its syntax is a subset of the JavaScript language that was standardized in 1999.

JavaScript and JSON Essentials is a step-by-step guide that will introduce you to JSON and help you understand how the lightweight JSON data format can be used in different ways either to store data locally or to transfer data over the Internet. This book will teach you how to use JSON effectively with JavaScript.

This book begins with a brief refresher course on JavaScript before taking you through how JSON data can be transferred via synchronous, asynchronous, and cross-domain asynchronous HTTP calls. JSON is not just about data transfer; this book throws light on the alternate implementations of JSON as well.

You will learn the data types that JavaScript uses and how those data types can be used in JSON. You will go through the concepts of how to create, update, parse, and delete a JSON object. You will also look at the different techniques of loading a JSON file onto a web page, how to use jQuery to traverse through an object, and how to perform access operations. You will also go over a few resources that will make debugging JSON quick and easy.

What you will learn from this book

  • Learn how to work with real-time JSON
  • Transfer JSON data via asynchronous calls
  • Fire cross-domain asynchronous requests
  • Serialize and transmit data
  • Build the Carousel application
  • Understand alternate implementations of JSON
  • Debug JSON quickly and efficiently

Approach
The book follows a tutorial-based approach and will teach you how to work with JSON tools, design JSON objects, and how to use different techniques to handle JSON data.

Who this book is written for
This book is a great resource for developers who would like to learn more about JSON and who wish to apply it in their own projects. It will be useful to have some prior knowledge of HTML and JavaScript to help you understand the concepts covered in this book. Some familiarity with a server-side language such as PHP, C#, or Python would also be beneficial, but this is not compulsory.

Book Details

  • Paperback: 120 pages
  • Publisher: Packt Publishing (October 2013)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-10: 1783286032

Enterprise Integration with WSO2 ESB

Posted: 14 Mar 2014 07:58 AM PDT

Book Description

The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) serves as a key component in most of the enterprise grade deployments. In most cases, the ESB removes point-to-point dependencies in your system to build a highly-scalable, loosely-coupled solution. ESB is a key ingredient to build an SOA infrastructure, but it’s not a must. Even with an ESB, if industry best practices and patterns are not followed, users will end up in a mess. This book will teach you the essentials to get started with WSO2 ESB and solve the most commonly-faced integration problems.

The book starts by explaining the need for an ESB and the problems it solves. It will cover the most widely-used enterprise integration patterns, including Content Based Router, Dynamic Router, Splitter, Aggregator, Scatter & Gather, Publish & Subscribe, Detour, Service Chaining, Content Enricher and Message Broker. Learn how WSO2 ESB can bring third-party business messaging systems such as SAP, FIX, and HL7 into the SOA world, as well as how to integrate the Twitter connector into your business messaging flow.

What you will learn from this book

  • Implement commonly used Enterprise Integration Patterns with WSO2 ESB
  • Integrate WSO2 ESB with Apache Active MQ and Apache Qpid Message Brokers
  • Connect your SAP system to a better or wider SOA infrastructure
