使用JSON和jQuery的可编辑数据表？

Question

For sports race results, I'm considering storing the results data as JSON in MySQL and would like to provide an easy interface for editing.

Is there anything that can take JSON produce a table, allow editing and update the JSON object..? which could then be passed back to PHP/MySQL.

The results data looks like:

Race    Grade     First     Second      Third       Time
350M    ‘A’       S. Samy   T. Harris   F. Cullin   31:72
450M    ‘B’       S. Bucket R. Jones    M. Jones    33:21
550M    'C'       R. Oly    S. Woods    P. Kircher  

Answer 1

You should store data in a relational database. Use functions or a framework utility to convert it to JSON format, then pass it to the webpage for javascript to consume and present to the user.

If a NoSQL database is suitable to your needs, they can store JSON documents and those documents are therefore emitted as JSON. CouchDB is one example of these non-relational databases.
