    Study Notes

    Client-Server Computing

    • Client-server computing separates systems into client and server roles, facilitating communication over a network.
    • A client software process initiates sessions, while the server awaits client requests, forming a distributed system.

    Tiered Computing

    • Multi-tier architecture refers to applications executed by multiple software agents.
    • Middleware is often used to manage data requests between users and databases in a multi-tier setup.

    JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)

    • JSON is a lightweight, language-independent data-interchange format.
    • Valued for its self-describing nature, JSON is easy to read and understand.

    JSON Syntax

    • Although JSON uses JavaScript syntax, it is a text format similar to XML.

    JSON vs. XML

    • JSON does not require end tags, making it shorter and simpler than XML.
    • JSON offers faster read/write capabilities and supports arrays.
    • Parsing differs: XML needs a dedicated parser, while JSON can be parsed using standard JavaScript functions.

    Value Types in JSON

    • JSON can store six different value types, enhancing its versatility.

    HelpdeskDB in JSON

    • An employee document representation in the HelpdeskDB.employees collection can be formatted in JSON, showcasing the structure of data storage.
