What is JSON?
JSON is the standard format in which modern systems exchange data. Below you can read what it is and why it is so common.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a light, readable format for exchanging data between systems. It is the standard for modern APIs: compact, simple and processable by almost every programming language.
A readable data format
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a way to write down data that is easy to read for both humans and machines. Data is in pairs of a name and a value, for example an order number with the corresponding amount, possibly nested in lists and objects.
The format is light and compact, and almost every programming language can read and create it. That is why JSON has become the standard for REST APIs and webhooks.
JSON in connections
When we connect two systems via an API, the data usually travels between them as JSON: an order from your webshop to your ERP, or a stock level back. Where an older system speaks XML, we translate between them.
How we help you with this.
From concept to a working solution. This is what connects to it.
