For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
RUby - loading, using, changing, storing JSON format data

json is an excellent data exchange format - it "serialises" a data structure that consists of arrays and hashes (or whatever ordered and unordered collections are called in the language you're using) so that the structure can be saved, transferred between programs and computers, and reloaded easily.

All of the languages we teach (I think) has classes that support JSON and it's very much the modern 'standard'. And you can grab some json from our website at http://www.wellho.net/service/_.json to test out our sample programs.

Today's sample - as I've been running a Ruby course is in Ruby.

Starting with reading and parsing from a file:

  require 'json'
  fh = File.new 'sample.json'
  content = fh.read
  info = JSON.parse content


... yes, really that simple. content contains the raw (json string) data, and info contains the fully loaded Hash and List structure. Full program [here] goes on to loook at

• displaying elements of the data
• changing the data
• saving the modified structure into a new file of Json.
