JSON vs. Python vs. SAS Federation Server vs. SQL 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.

Create federated source data names to enable users to access multiple data sources via the same connection. Use the web-based administrative console for simplified maintenance of user access, privileges and authorizations. Apply data quality functions such as match-code generation, parsing and other tasks inside the view. Improved performance with in-memory data caches & scheduling. Secured information with data masking & encryption. Lets you keep application queries current and available to users, and reduce loads on operational systems. Enables you to define access permissions for a user or group at the catalog, schema, table, column and row levels. Advanced data masking and encryption capabilities let you determine not only who’s authorized to view your data, but also what they see on an extremely granular level. It all helps ensure sensitive data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.
