The JavaScript simple object notation was a seed for making a difference in the data exchange technologies domain. With its simple parenthesis {} format, key-value pair structure, readability, and ease of operations, has so much traction. JSON has become a pioneer in its field, on which other data exchange formats base themselves. There are various JSON formats available in the open source ecosystem, all of which are derived from JSON.
This chapter helps us to study those formats so that we can use them for various purposes. Here is list of formats we are going to focus on.
- GeoJSON
- JSONLD
- BSON
- MessagePack
