JSON Links

Following on from my previous postl; because JSON is a markup language, it means it is perfect to transmitting serialized objects from one platform to another. An example I already made of this was C# to JScript via Ajax.

But the list of platforms it supports doesn't end there.. oh no! This ain't no one trick poney!.. In addition to the .NET and JScipt libraries I have also found the following:

JSON for Java: http://oss.metaparadigm.com/jsonrpc/
JSON for Ruby: http://json.rubyforge.org/
JSON for Perl: http://search.cpan.org/dist/JSON/
JSON for Python: https://sourceforge.net/projects/json-py/

So there you have it! Efficient serialization without the need for schemas, allowing you to interop between pretty much all modern platforms. (I'm sure the Microsoft-platform-developers amung us are only half as impressed as everyone else, haha!)
