in thread Are there any issues with JSON

"Right. It's a "push", "pull" (transport) layer. That will provide me the same "dynamic feel" that JavaScript does."

No, that's not what JSON is at all.

JSON is a data format. That's it. Saying that JSON will provide you with a "dynamic feel" is like saying that Perl hash variables will provide you with a "dynamic feel".

Hashes are just a place to put data. If you want to do something interesting with that data (like provide a "dynamic feel"), then you need to write code to manipulate the data in the hash in some way.

Similarly JSON is just a data format. If you want to do something interesting with that data (like provide a "dynamic feel"), then you need to write code to manipulate the data in the JSON in some way. If you want that to happen in a browser, then that code probably wants to be Javascript.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

    Hello, tobyink, and thanks for the reply (clarification).

    Boy! Did I get the wrong impression. When I went to the CPAN to examine JSON. That page led me to additional JSON resources: http://www.json.org/. Which had many additional JSON related links. One of which was JSON Editor Online. This was a few days ago, and the last association I had in my mind, where JSON was concerned. Unfortunately, the wrong association/impression.

    Sorry for all the noise, and thank you very much for taking the time to respond.
