Overview of this book

JSON is an established and standard format used to exchange data. This book shows how JSON plays different roles in full web development through examples. By the end of this book, you'll have a new perspective on providing solutions for your applications and handling their complexities. After establishing a strong basic foundation with JSON, you'll learn to build frontend apps by creating a carousel. Next, you'll learn to implement JSON with Angular 5, Node.js, template embedding, and composer.json in PHP. This book will also help you implement Hapi.js (known for its JSON-configurable architecture) for server-side scripting. You'll learn to implement JSON for real-time apps using Kafka, as well as how to implement JSON for a task runner, and for MongoDB BSON storage. The book ends with some case studies on JSON formats to help you sharpen your creativity by exploring futuristic JSON implementations. By the end of the book, you'll be up and running with all the essential features of JSON and JavaScript and able to build fast, scalable, and efficient web applications.

The problem with cross-domain AJAX calls

All the asynchronous calls that we have made until now have been on the node server. The node server has already handled the functionality for supporting CORS. There are situations where we want to load data from a different domain, such as fetching data from other APIs, which may not have CORS supports. Server-side programs are designed to handle these kinds of call; we can use cURL to make HTTP calls to different domains to fetch such data. This increases our dependency on server-side programs as we have to make a call to our server, which in turn makes a call to another domain to fetch the data, which is returned to a client-side program. It might come across as being a trivial issue, but we are adding an extra layer to our web architecture. To avoid making a server-side call, let us try and see if we can make an asynchronous call to...
