JavaScript Object Notation (.json)

RFC Standardno

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight, human-readable text format for data interchange, completely language-independent and universally used for web APIs.

⚠️ SyntaxError: Unexpected token , in JSON at position X.

Osnovni uzrok: Trailing comma after the last item in an array or object, which is strictly illegal in RFC 8259 JSON.

Oporavak: Remove trailing commas from object keys and array entries before passing to JSON.parse().

⚠️ SyntaxError: Unexpected token ' in JSON.

Osnovni uzrok: Strings or keys enclosed in single quotes ('') instead of double quotes ("").

Oporavak: Replace all single-quoted strings and keys with standard double-quoted strings.

Bezbednosna analiza i vektori napada parsera

JSON is text-only and safe from direct code execution, but parsing untrusted JSON can lead to Prototype Pollution, ReDoS, or memory exhaustion.

Poznati vektori napada

  • Prototype Pollution: Keys named '__proto__' or 'constructor' modifying Object.prototype in JavaScript applications.
  • Stack overflow denial of service via deeply nested JSON structures (e.g. 10,000 opening brackets).
  • Loss of numeric precision: JavaScript numbers larger than 2^53 - 1 (9,007,199,254,740,991) silently lose precision.

Defanzivne najbolje prakse: Never evaluate JSON with eval(). Use JSON.parse() and sanitize '__proto__' properties in recursive object merge functions.

Istorijat i prekretnice

2017RFC 8259 standardizes UTF-8 as the sole mandatory character encoding for JSON.
2013ECMA-404 defines the universal JSON syntax standard.
2001Douglas Crockford specifies JSON to enable stateless browser-to-server data communication.

Ključne prednosti

  • Human-readable, self-describing, and concise text structure.
  • Native parsing support built into JavaScript engines (JSON.parse) and every major programming language.
  • Strict specification prevents arbitrary code execution.

Tehnička ograničenja i nedostaci

  • No support for comments, trailing commas, or circular object references.
  • No native binary types (binary data must be base64-encoded, inflating size by 33%).
  • Inefficient serialization compared to binary formats like Protocol Buffers or MessagePack.

Zanimljivosti

  • Douglas Crockford added the software license clause 'The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil' to the original JSMin JSON tools.
  • JSON is a strict subset of JavaScript syntax, but until ES2019, raw unescaped U+2028 and U+2029 characters were valid in JSON but invalid in JavaScript strings.

Često postavljana tehnička pitanja

Why doesn't JSON allow comments?

Douglas Crockford deliberately excluded comments from the JSON specification to prevent developers from putting parsing instructions or environment-dependent configuration pragmas into data feeds, preserving universal interoperability.

How do you store 64-bit integers in JSON without losing precision?

JavaScript's native Number type is an IEEE 754 double-precision float, which only supports integers up to 2^53 - 1 precisely. 64-bit integers (like database IDs or timestamps) must be serialized as strings (e.g. '1234567890123456789') in JSON.
