Choosing a data format for Javascript

HTML snippets require very little work to implement. The external data can be loaded

and inserted into the page with one simple method that does not even require a

callback function. No traversal of the data is necessary for the straightforward task

of adding the new HTML into the existing page. On the other hand, the data is not

necessarily structured in a way that makes it reusable for other applications. The

external file is tightly coupled with its intended container.

JSON files are structured for simple reuse. They are compact and easy to read. The

data structure must be traversed to pull out the information and present it on the

page, but this can be done with standard JavaScript techniques. Since modern

browsers parse the files natively with a single call to JSON.parse(), reading in a

JSON file is extremely fast. Errors in the JSON file can cause silent failure or even

side effects on the page, so the data must be crafted carefully by a trusted party.

JavaScript files offer the ultimate in flexibility, but are not really a data storage

mechanism. Since the files are language-specific, they cannot be used to provide

the same information to disparate systems. Instead, the ability to load a JavaScript

file means that behaviors that are rarely needed can be factored out into external

files, reducing code size unless and until it is needed.

While XML has fallen out of favor in the JavaScript community, with most developers

preferring JSON, it is still so common that providing data in this format makes it very

likely that the data can be reused elsewhere. Indeed, many web services, such as Yahoo

Weather (http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/), export XML representations

of their data, which has allowed many interesting mashups of their data to arise. The

XML format is somewhat bulky, and can be a bit slower to parse and manipulate than

other options.

fadeIn() VS slideDown

The fading animations are very useful for items that are outside the flow of the
document. For example, these are typical effects to apply to "lightbox" elements
that are overlaid on the page. However, when an element is part of the document
flow, calling .fadeIn() on it causes the document to jump to provide the real estate
needed for the new element, which is not always aesthetically pleasing.

JavaScript Tips

In JavaScript, functions are objects.

Function arguments are the real values received by the function when it is invoked.
