JSON code structure

I finally decided to convert from XML to JSON for my data interchange.

I started reading about JSON tonight.

I am unable to find decent tutorials on how the .php script should look when trying to output/create data JSON format

say I have a mySQL table and I want to output some of the data in my table into the JSON format

how would my PHP script look like?

also my host only has PHP Version 5.0.4

I understand JSON is incorporated into 5.2

how can I use JSON with ver 5.0.4?

thanks

You'll want to check out the PEAR extension for JSON.
This (http://extjs.com/tutorial/creating-json-data-php) should tell you what you need to know.

Why did you choose JSON over XML?

head to head performance seems to show JSON parsing as being more efficient than XML

hence, faster apps

xml give flexibility, in my opinion you may look for a compromise.

this could be usefull for json:

there is also a list of parser on the bottom of the page.
Take a look also for yaml
