JSON vs. JavaScript vs. Prerender vs. PureScript Comparison Chart

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language. JSON is built on two structures: 1. A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array. 2. An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence. These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another.

Get higher rankings by serving crawlers a static HTML version of your Javascript website, without compromising your customers’ experience. Prerender® is a SaaS platform that makes your JavaScript website SEO-friendly. Before your customer can find your website on search engines like Google, it first has to be crawled and indexed by one of their web crawlers, such as Googlebot. They do this by reading and cataloging a stripped-down, HTML version of your website with the visual and interactive elements taken away. This normally isn’t an issue if your website is built in static HTML, and typically takes just a few days. If your website is made in a JavaScript framework, it’s a different story. While Google can crawl websites built in JavaScript, it’s much harder for them to do. It can easily take weeks before your JavaScript website can be indexed and found in the search results. Google will see all of your content and links, and get your website in front of your customers in no-time.
