I know what JSON is and what the advantages over XML. I already read some answer for this , but still i can't get through it.
So i would specifically ask this questions:
1. Is it only useful for API thing? so exchange data without refresh the whole page using AJAX..
2. Is it always used with AJAX?
3. Do people (always/very often) using JSON like this? :: Database/Server - JSON - Client.. what i mean by that is, all our data from database will be put into JSON, so people can use it easily to any other platform/language?
**because from my point of view, if the data, which we need to output not much, why not just directly write on HTML directly, and if it's a lot of data, why not use database? If you don't mind please add an example case to use json
big thanks everyone!
