    Uploaded by

    Data serialization is the process of converting structured data to a standardized format for sharing or storage. Common serialization formats include JSON, XML, and YAML, which allow transfer of data between systems and programming languages in a human- and machine-readable plain text format. These formats are mostly interchangeable, with the choice depending on system support and ease of use.

    Data Serialization

    Data serialization is the process of converting structured data to a


    standardized format that allows sharing or storage of the data in a form
    that allows recovery of its original structure
    It allows transfer of the data between different systems, applications and
    programming languages
    XML, JSON and YAML are human and machine readable, plain text data
    encoding formats
    Data Serialization
    Data formats are mostly interchangeable
    Which one to use depends on support in the system it is being used with,
    and which is easiest for you
    JSON JavaScript Object Notation
    First standardized in 2013.
    Easier for humans to read and work with than XML
    Can be imported directly into JavaScript, which is commonly used on the
    internet
    White space has no special meaning
    RESTful APIs often use JSON
    JSON Data Types
    Object
    Array
    String
    Number
    Boolean
    Null
    JSON Data Types: Object
    An object is an unordered collection of key/value pairs.
    They are surrounded by curly braces {}.
    Keys must be strings, and values must be a valid JSON data type (string,
    number, object, array, boolean or null).
    Keys and values are separated by a colon.
    Each key/value pair is separated by a comma.

    {
    “name”:”GigabitEthernet1”,
    “description”:”Internet link”,
    “enabled”:true
    }
    JSON Data Types: Array
    An array is an ordered list of values.
    They are surrounded by square brackets [].
    Values must be a valid JSON data type (string, number, object, array,
    boolean or null).

    {
    "name":"John",
    "age":25,
    “girlfriends":[ “Zoe", “Eve", “Amy" ]
    }
    JSON Nesting
    {
    "address": [
    {
    "ip": "1.1.1.1",
    "netmask": "255.255.255.0"
    },
    {
    "ip": "10.255.255.1",
    "netmask": "255.255.255.0"
    }
    ]
    }
    JSON Data Types

    String: “name”:”GigabitEthernet1”
    Number: “Input Errors” : 3
    Boolean: “enabled” : true
    Null: “msec” : null
    {
    "ietf-interfaces:interfaces": {
    "interface": [
    {
    "name": "GigabitEthernet1",
    "description": "Management",
    "enabled": true,
    "ietf-ip:ipv4": {
    "address": [
    {
    "ip": "10.10.20.48",

    XML eXtensible Markup Language
    Standardized in 1998.
    Widely used across the Internet.
    XML was designed to describe and transfer data, while HTML is focused
    on how to display data.
    White space has no special meaning in XML.
    <key>value</key> contained within object tags.
    XML eXtensible Markup Language
    <?xml version =“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8” ?>
    <interface xmlns=“ietf-interfaces”>
    <name>GigabitEthernet1</name>
    <description>Internet link</description>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <ipv4>
    <address>
    <ip>192.168.0.1</ip>
    <netmask>255.255.255.0</netmask>
    </address>
    </ipv4>
    </interface>
    YAML: YAML Aint Markup Language
    Often used in Python, Perl and Ansible
    Designed to be easily read by humans
    White space (indentation) is important
    Anything at a common indentation level is considered related at the
    same level
    Starts with ---
    key: value representation
    - indicates a list
    Ansible playbooks use YAML
    YAML: YAML Aint Markup Language
    ---
    ietf-interfaces:interface:
    name: GigabitEthernet1
    description: Internet link
    enabled: true
    ietf-if:ipv4:
    address:
    - ip: 192.168.0.1
    netmask: 255.255.255.0
