JSON price comparison shopping data feed / web services

We have made available a new data feed / web services delivery method via JSON.

JSON stands for Javascript Object Notation, originally meant to be used for AJAX, but it is becoming more popular as an alternative for XML.

Integrating DFF database via JSON will give you the best combination of flexibility and speed.

JSON is easier to use when the dynamic language such as PHP you use supports JSON decoding.

We will provide you with the data in RAW JSON encoded format (can be compressed with GZIP or not compressed) without any HTML mark-up allowing you to use your own content, design and layout around the returned JSON data.

Once you have received the JSON data, you will not be able to use it right away because it is encoded and may be compressed (if you have choosen to compress the data). Then you have to use whatever your server scripting language support to decode the JSON data into multi-dimensional arrays.

See the JSON Example Page and JSON + PHP integration example for more information.
