Question

I am thinking of this idea:
1. Request data from server and write to javascript file in json format using C#
2. When the page loads, the page loads the js file and I can use the data using javascript?

is this a good or bad idea?
is there any example somewhere doing that?

thanks

Answer 1

I’d take into account:

• Performance, do you expect the dataset to be small enough to be managed by browsers? How complex are the relationships between your entities?
• Security, how will you secure the data to avoid malicious code execution?

Taking into account these concerns I’d recommend JSON for data interfaces.
