Brisbane Events (2) - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Strengths
        
        it's flexible, compact and in many cases easier to use
        
        Nested and hierarchical
        
        Easier to represent a null value
        
        Can easily distinguish between single items and collections of size one (using JSON arrays).
        
        Easier to parse
        
        Easier to use arrays
      - Limitations
        
        Lacks schema and namespace support but both are unnecessary for my purposes
        
        Power Automate has a usage limit of 5,000 API requests
        
        Not fully secure when parsing (attacker can insert random HTML into your site)
        
        Limited in terms of supporting data types
    - - Strengths
        
        XML’s user-defined elements make it a better option for more complicated documents that include images, charts, or other non-primitive types.
        
        Nested and hierarchical
        
        Simplifies data sharing and transport
        
        Supports unicode
        
        It is platform-independent, thus relatively immune to changes in technology
      - Limitations
        
        The redundancy in syntax of XML causes higher storage and transportation cost when the volume of data is large
        
        The distinction between content and attributes in XML seems unnatural to some and makes designing XML data structures harder (directly affects my app).
        
        Harder to read
        
        poor support for arrays
        
        XML file sizes are usually very large due to its verbose nature
    - - Strengths
        
        Form of XML file, sharing the same strengths
        
        RSS feeds are timely. RSS feeds will automatically update themselves any time new information is posted
        
        More specific than XML (goes further to define the names of specific tags)
      - Limitations
        
        Form of XML file, sharing the same limitations
        
        Not widely adopted
        
        Content can easily be copied and accessed by external entities
  - - - Retrieval - Accessing a JSON files API from data.gov
    - - Storage - Data was stored inside a data structure within Xcode
  - - - No personal information gathered in this app, with user information such as favourite list being saved onto the user’s device. Terms and conditions outline how information is utilised throughout the app and privacy features are freely accessible (APP 1, APP 3, APP 5, APP 6, APP 8, APP 10, APP 11, APP 12 and APP 13)
        
        Users interact with the app anonymously (APP 2)
        
        Unsolicited information received will be disposed of and users are informed about the transferal of their data to us if possible (APP 1, APP 5)
        
        No marketing used and thus users do not need to worry about external entities receiving access to their data (APP 7, APP 11)
        
        Government identifier will not be used and the app will not be advertised as a "Brisbane City Council" endorsed app (APP 9)
        
        Event data extracted from Brisbane City Council's provided JSON file is automatically update to the newest version when the app loads (APP 10)
    - - Confidentiality
        
        Personal information is not needed for the purpose of this app and is thus not collected (as outlined by APPs, especially APP3). This means that there are no concerns with external parties accessing our users information
      - Integrity
        
        Integrity of the app will be achieved through using official JSON data provided by the Brisbane City Council
        
        Retrieve information from the API through the use of an access key, meaning attackers are not able to intercept the data transfer and modify event information
        
        App information is automatically updated with every launch of the app, meaning attackers are not able to abuse the event information by modifying it for their benefit
        
        No need to worry about the integrity of user's information as no personal information is collected
        
        Users interact with the app anonymously and thus there is no need to consider protection of sign-in details or 2 factor authentication
        
        Encryption used to scramble information, meaning attackers are unable to understand the information and thus data stored and transferred between users and their devices is safer
      - Availability
        
        Ensure the app is always up and available by use for users by implementing counter-DDOS measures such as firewalls and encryption and ensuring our systems are have the capacity to handle large amounts of traffic (JSON handling 5000 API requests) to ensure a denial of service does not occur
  - - - JSON, Swift, Json2Table
