C# vs. JSON vs. Java vs. Valispace Comparison Chart

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language. JSON is built on two structures: 1. A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array. 2. An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence. These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another.

It enables Team Collaboration on all important aspects of the Engineering Lifecycle, such as: - Requirements Management - Data-Driven Functional Design - Product Architecture - Detailed Systems Design & Simulation - Automated Verification - Live Documentation It also allows for cross-lifecycle process improvements, such as: - Agile Engineering Planning - Technical Change Management In comparison to siloed Requirement Management Systems or Model Based Systems Engineering expert-tools, its data-driven architecture enables agile hardware development across departments with a digital thread along the engineering lifecycle. Valispace’s proprietary calculation engine propagates changes instantly to users, requirements, architecture, verifications and documentation. Therefore, its introduction into the engineering process reduces costs by significantly shortening development times, as well as by preventing design mistakes which usually lead to expensive rework.
