JSON Essential Training

Course details

JSON has become the most common format for data interchange on the web, building from a JavaScript base to a wider set of API platforms. In this course, instructor Sasha Vodnik walks you through using the basic syntax of JSON and applying it in several common implementations to see how you can structure it with schemas and JSON-LD. Sasha begins by making sure you have a thorough understanding of how to build and debug JSON structures. After stepping through how to process JSON data, he shows you a variety of ways to use it. Next, Sasha covers techniques you can use to work with JSON, such as preventing data reuse and returning readable JSON data in JavaScript. He goes over how to create and validate JSON schema and how to work with schema generators. Sasha concludes with a discussion of JSON-LD and how you can use it to explain and map the structure of your data.
