JSON

JSON

These days, you’ll see JSON most often. (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write, and despite being based on JavaScipt language standard you do not need to use JavaScript - you can use any language. It is easy for machines to parse and generate.

What's the Difference?

XML is a markup language, JSON is a way of representing objects. Generally speaking, JSON is preferred for IoT applications since it can self-describe and is more programmatic, where XML was made for document mark up like HTML.
