@Lady @aescling thank you margoat

@Lady @aescling could you give an example?

@Lady @aescling i found a video of an indian man explaining the concept with a terrible microphone so i think i'm good

@Lady @aescling i know you have a brain that can make sense of dry specification but for me that is the single worst way for me to learn a data exchange format lmao

@Lady @aescling and what is JSON best used for

@Lady @aescling what would you use instead of JSON for data

@Lady @aescling I wrote a simple node script the other day that parsed an HTML page full of tabulated data to covert the data into useful JSON form (I'll give you one guess for what purpose this was for). I suppose I could use an XML parser if I really wanted to but I don't see any need to rewrite my script given that all works just fine in node.

i really was a fandom guy this whole time wasn't I

suddenly had flashbacks to a moment in middle school when we did some project with toothpicks and I somehow managed to create convincing art of various sonic characters out of goddamn toothpicks

@aescling that was a desired outcome tbh

One indication of how based the JavaScript object is is that JSON became the defacto standard for data exchange despite Microsoft's efforts to push XML on us

i managed to use functional programming for BF1 wonkery :)

@aescling it moreso reflects how excellent popular music was this year
