Sending a JSON object to a server with JavaScript
In a recent development, a web application has been designed to send and receive JSON data using PHP and Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (AJAX).
When the user clicks the "Send JSON" button, an XHR request is initiated to transfer the data to the server. On the frontend, an HTML form is built to take name and email as input, and the data is converted into a JSON object using JavaScript. The JSON object is then converted into a string using the JSON.stringify() function, ensuring that the data sent to the server is in a format it can understand.
On the backend, PHP is used as the scripting language. A file named "submit.php" is created to handle the received data. The data is decoded to a JSON object on the server, and a sentence is formed using the received data. This sentence is then returned to the frontend.
JSON is a lightweight data transferring format that is very easy to understand by both humans and machines. It's widely used in API integration due to its advantages and simplicity. In this example, the server-side scripting language used is PHP, and the data is sent and received via JSON.
Once the data is received and processed, the formed sentence is displayed to the user. This process demonstrates the efficiency and ease of using JSON for data transfer in web applications, making it a popular choice for developers.
However, it's worth noting that the developer who created the "submit.php" script that sends a response to received JSON data and displays it on the page remains unspecified in this example.
In conclusion, the application showcases the usefulness of JSON in web development, providing a simple and efficient way to send and receive data between the frontend and backend.
