Published JSON files

Previous Next

The published JSON (= JavaScript Object Notation) files, with file extension .js, contain jQuery instructions that allow client browsers to build the correct application behavior including the required data interaction. The content is generated from information stored in the Web Designer repository.

Here is an example of a part of a JSON .JS file for a page based on a database table called TOUR.

Published .JS files appear in the "xml" folder of the Publication Directory.
