Speeding up AJAX with JSON

XML is a brilliant tool for standardizing communication between two isolated systems. When you as a web developer have control over the way that both of those systems function though the benefits of XML quickly begin to fall short of the timing delays that it incurs. This is especially true of AJAX applications where you have control over both the client-side and server-side code, and thus usually don't need to waste the user's time by converting everything to XML and then back again for each transaction.
In this article we'll explore a more compact, and possibly more effective, approach to transferring complex data between two systems using JSON.
