JSON vs. JavaScript vs. Oracle Cloud Functions vs. PureScript 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.

​Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Functions is a serverless computing service that enables developers to create, run, and scale applications without managing infrastructure. Built on the open source Fn Project, it supports multiple programming languages, including Python, Go, Java, Node.js, and C#, allowing for flexible function development. Developers can deploy code directly, with OCI handling automatic provisioning and scaling of resources. It offers provisioned concurrency to maintain low-latency execution, ensuring functions are ready to accept calls instantly. A catalog of prebuilt functions is available, enabling rapid deployment of common tasks without the need to write code from scratch. Functions are packaged as Docker images, and advanced users can utilize Dockerfiles to customize runtime environments. Integration with Oracle Identity and Access Management provides fine-grained access control, while OCI Vault securely stores sensitive configuration data.
