In this video we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of multithreading. This is continuation to Part 86. Please watch Part 86 before proceeding.

Advantages of multithreading:
1. To maintain a responsive user interface
2. To make efficient use of processor time while waiting for I/O operations to complete.
3. To split large, CPU-bound tasks to be processed simultaneously on a machine that has multiple CPUs/cores.



Disadvantages of multithreading:
1. On a single-core/processor machine threading can affect performance negatively as there is overhead involved with context-switching.
2. Have to write more lines of code to accomplish the same task.
3. Multithreaded applications are difficult to write, understand, debug and maintain.

Please Note: Only use multithreading when the advantages of doing so outweigh the disadvantages.

  2. JSON is a basically a notation of instances of objects so you can send an object of ..as an example employee from a c# server to a php server.
    The c# would send this notation to the php server and the php server would derserialize it into a php employees object.
    {
    "employees": [
    { "firstName":"John" , "lastName":"Doe" },
    { "firstName":"Anna" , "lastName":"Smith" },
    { "firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones" }
    ]
    }
