Having JSON support, Octave can improve for example it's web service functions, which often exchange JSON data these days. Another interesting applicatoin is described in another Octave GSoC project, see [[Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Jupyter_Integration | Jupyter integration]]. | ||
In bug {{bug|53100}} a vivid discussion about proper JSON support took place. As JSON is a highly demanded feature for Octave, there are already several attempts to fill the gap: | In bug {{bug|53100}} a vivid discussion about proper JSON support took place.

In general the [https://nbformat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Jupyter Notebook Format] is a plain JSON document. In combination with another Octave GSoC project (see [[Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#JSON_encoding.2Fdecoding | JSON encoding/decoding]]), a second valuable outcome was that Octave can run (and fill) those Jupyter Notebooks on it's own. This would enable Jupyter Notebook users to evaluate long running Octave Notebooks on a computing server without permanent browser connection, which is [https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/1647 still a pending issue]. | |||
