Simplest contacts app ever?
CodenStuff
Hello Coders,

This is source-code for a super quick and basic contact list, add your friends name, email and phone number.

It also saves and loads the data using Json.

Is it the simplest contact app ever?

Can you do one with the same features using less code?

Nice challenge for you there :lol:

Yes Json is a really efficient and easy way of saving/loading data. I started using it in VB about a year ago and its really improved a lot of my projects since then..and the data can easily be transferred and used on web sites and web apps as well.

I've made something similar to this but without json, I might use this in a future project thanks #CodenStuff.

Maybe we can keep our contacts online and access our contacts list from mobile, web or desktop.

Json seems like a better choice when it comes to loading data than XML, who else agrees with that statement :P ?

Use #codevoo maybe ? Would be really easy

I know nothing about JSON, but is it encrypted? Or like XML freely accessible with notepad or any other text editor for that matter (i.e. the my.settings settings can be changed with notepad without the program detecting the change (only if it is out of bounds (string/char differencee))?

JSON is freely accessible. It's just another way of formatting data. Instead of having tags like XML and HTML, it uses arrays and dictionaries.

Here's an example of JSON data that would be returned (in plain text) by the Codevoo API:
Code: Select all
[
   {
      "username": "Codevoo",
      "avatar": "http:\/\/www.codevoo.com\/images\/no_avatar.gif",
      "email": "me@email.com",
      "colour": "000"
      "type": "0"
   }
]
As you can see, the data above contains an array (with a single element), each element in this array is a dictionary with itself 5 key-value pairs (username, avatar, email, colour, type).

You can learn more about JSON here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON

Thanks Comathi, I'll check that when I'm back home since dislike XML (which is probably because of me rather than XML itself, but either way :P).

Also, the Jack the Ripper killer was identified, but maybe cody has something to do with it as he suggests in his contacts app :O
