CoffeeScript vs. JSON vs. Java vs. websockets 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.

An implementation of the WebSocket Protocol (RFC 6455 & 7692). websockets is a library for building WebSocket servers and clients in Python with a focus on correctness, simplicity, robustness, and performance. Built on top of asyncio, Python’s standard asynchronous I/O framework, it provides an elegant coroutine-based API. websockets is heavily tested for compliance with RFC 6455. Continuous integration fails under 100% branch coverage. websockets is built for production. For example, it was the only library to handle backpressure correctly before the issue became widely known in the Python community. Memory usage is optimized and configurable. A C extension accelerates expensive operations. It’s pre-compiled for Linux, macOS, and Windows and packaged in the wheel format for each system and Python version. websockets takes care of everything under the hood so you can focus on your application!
