JavaScript JSON Cookbook by Ray Rischpater

If youre writing applications that move structured data from one place to another, this book is for you. This is especially true if youve been using XML to do the job because its entirely possible that you could do much of the same work with less code and less data overhead in JSON. While the books chapters make some distinction between the client and server sides of an application, it doesnt matter if youre a frontend, backend, or full-stack developer. The principles behind using JSON apply to both the client and the server, and in fact, developers who understand both sides of the equation generally craft the best applications.
