Typed JSON

Introduction

Typed JSON are C# classes that are serializeable to JSON. This makes it easy to work with JSON documents in an object-oriented manner.

The view-models are Typed JSON in Starcounter web apps.

JSON-by-example defines it, the Code-Behind extends it, and it's bound to database data.

This section describes how to use Typed JSON.

• JSON-by-example and Code-Behind describes how to define the Typed JSON and extend it to allow for interactivity.

• JSON Data Bindings explains how to initially add database data to the Typed JSON objects and then bind Typed JSON objects to database classes.

• Callback Methods describes the use of callback methods for certain actions on the Typed JSON objects.

• Responding With JSON and Accepting JSON in Requests describes how to send and receive Typed JSON objects using HTTP.

• Primitive Arrays and Single Value Types and Typed JSON Internals covers topics that, in most cases, are not practically applicable but can still be useful in some niche cases.
