JSON vs. QML vs. Underscore.js vs. dbForge Query Builder for SQL Server 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.

Underscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects. Underscore provides over 100 functions that support both your favorite workaday functional helpers like map, filter, and invoke, as well as more specialized goodies like function binding, javascript templating, creating quick indexes, deep equality testing, and so on. You may choose between monolithic and modular imports. The project is hosted on GitHub. You can report bugs and discuss features on the issues page or chat in the Gitter channel. Underscore 1.x is backward compatible with any engine that fully supports ES3, while also utilizing newer features when available. Collection functions work on arrays, objects, and array-like objects. We have recent confirmation that the library is compatible with Adobe ExtendScript. There is support code present for IE 8, which we will retain in future Underscore updates.
