JMeter – Working with JSON

This post explains what is JSON and how to  Send JSON Payload in HTTP Request using JMeter. What is JSON? JSON is simply a data format, but one which is more naturally fit for browser data consumption. The reason for this is that JSON is a subset to JavaScript, the de facto programming language used in all browsers. By structuring a data payload as a JSON response, you are effectively bypassing the need to parse an XML document in a browser — typically done via JavaScript of course — to get to the actual data.  In this sense, JSON uses a stripped down syntax compliant with the native JavaScript interpreter provided on all browsers. Access and navigation to JSON data is done through the same standard JavaScript notation used to access string, array or hashtable values in a typical JavaScript application. Listing 1.1 illustrates what a JSON payload would look like. Listing 1.1 : JSON payload example {“item”: { “description”: { “title”: “Backroad Mountain Bikes”, “name”...

Hyperlocal Startups Creating a Better Living

Image
Recently, I read about this article on yourstory: IIT alumni startup creating a better living experience and it made me go down the memory lane when I used to work in a small real estate based startup in Bengaluru, India. Startups are growing like mushrooms in India and most of them claim to be solving a real world problem. I am specifically intrigued, surprised and sometimes disappointed by some of these startups. These startups, specifically the hyperlocal ones, when claim to create a better living experience, a better lifestyle or quality of life makes me rethink about the life I'm living.

Further, I would like to emphasize that its not just the services in the hyperlocal sector that makes me rethink. Its also what they claim to achieve by doing so is astonishing. This umbrella euphoria of every startup claiming to create a better living experience is making me...

Existence: Absolute & Relative

Image
 Who am I? Why am I? Where am I? How did I happen exactly? So many unanswered questions. Continuing the premise from my previous post about life and death . I believe I am real. I am real because I perceive the world through my senses. I witness my physical existence. Taking a closer look at my existence, I feel I should revise my statement to I believe I physically exist . I am associated with a medium (my physical body) that enables me to perceive the physical universe. So probably I'm just a consciousness that is aware of this physical world as long as its attached to a functioning medium.  May be this feeling of awareness within me, till my consciousness is aware of this perceivable physical universe, can be referred to as the feeling of being alive.  The association of consciousness with a functioning body is a function of time and is commonly referred as life.   This association deteriorates with time due to limitations of physical body. Of course, it would ch...
