lumy3497yI'm not quit sure what to answer.
I guess most of the company using json may have rework on the wheel. - 
				
				
lumy3497y@cabrasm okay i'm not gonna complain again of xml in REST API.
That's very hard to see ! - 
				
				
benrooke837yIt does seem like JSON is the ubiquitous option. I prefer it myself.
In larger systems, and especially distributed systems, one mature option is protocol buffers (also called protobufs). The data serialized across the wire is defined in a language-specific interface, so it’s statically typed and you don’t need a DTD. Used correctly, they easily allow for rolling deployment and backwards compatibility.
