When using Silverlight 4 for Line of Business (LOB) applications, it is important to make use of WCF services for fetching and updating data to and from SL to WCF. WCF actively makes use of Representatial State Transfer (REST) and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for data communication. In my previous article ‘Performing DML Operations using WCF REST Service and Silverlight’, I have already explained REST with Silverlight. HTTP based services e.g. WCF also make use of JSON for data communication to and from client. The advantage of using JSON is that it can be directly instantiated in JavaScript without parsing.
