[javascript] Key value pairs using JSON

JSON (= JavaScript Object Notation), is a lightweight and fast mechanism to convert Javascript objects into a string and vice versa.

Since Javascripts objects consists of key/value pairs its very easy to use and access JSON that way.

So if we have an object:

var myObj = {
    foo:   'bar',
    base:  'ball',
    deep:  {
       java:  'script'
    }
};

We can convert that into a string by calling window.JSON.stringify(myObj); with the result of "{"foo":"bar","base":"ball","deep":{"java":"script"}}".

The other way around, we would call window.JSON.parse("a json string like the above");.

JSON.parse() returns a javascript object/array on success.

alert(myObj.deep.java);  // 'script'

window.JSON is not natively available in all browser. Some "older" browser need a little javascript plugin which offers the above mentioned functionality. Check http://www.json.org for further information.
