ERGONOMICS OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE COMPONENTS OF THE CLIENT-SERVER ARCHITECTURE OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM

Goryachkin B. S., Baibarin R. G.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the efficiency of interaction between the components of the client-server architecture. The objects of research are the formats of the textual representation of transmitted messages. Their characteristics of transformation from a language structure object to a string and vice versa are analyzed. Four formats of text representation are parsed: JSON, XML, YAML, TOML. The research was conducted for two languages: Python and JavaScript. Exponentially weighted estimation (EVO) was used as a cleanup method. An integral criterion for evaluating different formats of textual representation was developed to reduce a multi-criteria problem to a single-criteria one. As a result of the research, the advantages of the JSON format in the speed of serialization and deserialization are shown.
