举个简单的例子：

function showJSON() {
var user =
{
"username":"andy",
"age":20,
"info": { "tel": "123456", "cellphone": "98765"},
"address":
[
{"city":"beijing","postcode":"222333"},
{"city":"newyork","postcode":"555666"}
]
}

alert(user.username);
alert(user.age);
alert(user.info.cellphone);
alert(user.address[0].city);
alert(user.address[0].postcode);
}
这表示一个user对象，拥有username, age, info, address 等属性。

同样也可以用JSON来简单的修改数据，修改上面的例子

js 代码
function showJSON() {
var user =
{
"username":"andy",
"age":20,
"info": { "tel": "123456", "cellphone": "98765"},
"address":
[
{"city":"beijing","postcode":"222333"},
{"city":"newyork","postcode":"555666"}
]
}

alert(user.username);
alert(user.age);
alert(user.info.cellphone);
alert(user.address[0].city);
alert(user.address[0].postcode);

user.username = "Tom";
alert(user.username);
}
JSON提供了json.js包，下载 后，将其引入然后就可以简单的使用object.toJSONString()转换成

JSON数据。

js 代码
function showCar() {
var carr = new Car("Dodge", "Coronet R/T", 1968, "yellow");
alert(carr.toJSONString());
}

function Car(make, model, year, color) {
this.make = make;
this.model = model;
this.year = year;
this.color = color;
}
可以使用eval来转换JSON字符到Object

js 代码
function myEval() {
var str = '{ "name": "Violet", "occupation": "character" }';
var obj = eval('(' + str + ')');
alert(obj.toJSONString());
}
或者使用parseJSON()方法

js 代码
function myEval() {
var str = '{ "name": "Violet", "occupation": "character" }';
var obj = str.parseJSON();
alert(obj.toJSONString());
}
下面使用prototype写一个JSON的ajax例子。

先写一个servlet (我的是servlet.ajax.JSONTest1.java)就写一句话
java 代码
response.getWriter().print("{ /"name/": /"Violet/", /"occupation/": /"character/" }");
再在页面中写一个ajax的请求

js 代码
function sendRequest() {
var url = "/MyWebApp/JSONTest1";
var mailAjax = new Ajax.Request(
url,
{
method: 'get',
onComplete: jsonResponse
}
);
}

function jsonResponse(originalRequest) {
alert(originalRequest.responseText);
var myobj = originalRequest.responseText.parseJSON();
alert(myobj.name);
}
prototype-<st1:chsdate w:st="on" isrocdate="False" islunardate="False" day="30" month="12"

year="1899">1.5.1</st1:chsdate>.js中提供了JSON的方法，String.evalJSON(), 可以不使用json.js, 修改上面的方法

js 代码
function jsonResponse(originalRequest) {
alert(originalRequest.responseText);
var myobj = originalRequest.responseText.evalJSON(true);
alert(myobj.name);
}
JSON还提供了java的jar包 API也很简单，下面举个例子

在javascript中填加请求参数

js 代码
function sendRequest() {
var carr = new Car("Dodge", "Coronet R/T", 1968, "yellow");
var pars = "car=" + carr.toJSONString();

var url = "/MyWebApp/JSONTest1";
var mailAjax = new Ajax.Request(
url,
{
method: 'get',
parameters: pars,
onComplete: jsonResponse
}
);
}
使用JSON请求字符串就可以简单的生成JSONObject并进行解析,修改servlet添加JSON的处理(要使用json.jar)

java 代码
private void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
String s3 = request.getParameter("car");
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(s3);
System.out.println(jsonObj.getString("model"));
System.out.println(jsonObj.getInt("year"));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
response.getWriter().print("{ /"name/": /"Violet/", /"occupation/": /"character/" }");
}
同样可以使用JSONObject生成JSON字符串，修改servlet

java 代码
private void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
String s3 = request.getParameter("car");
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(s3);
System.out.println(jsonObj.getString("model"));
System.out.println(jsonObj.getInt("year"));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

JSONObject resultJSON = new JSONObject();
try {
resultJSON.append("name", "Violet")
.append("occupation", "developer")
.append("age", new Integer(22));
System.out.println(resultJSON.toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
response.getWriter().print(resultJSON.toString());
}
js 代码
function jsonResponse(originalRequest) {
alert(originalRequest.responseText);
var myobj = originalRequest.responseText.evalJSON(true);
alert(myobj.name);
alert(myobj.age);
}
