^ The primary format is binary, but text and JSON formats are available. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] ^ Means that generic tools/libraries know how to encode, decode, and dereference a reference to another piece of data in the same document.
The official MIME type for JSON text is application/json, [26] and most modern implementations have adopted this. Legacy MIME types include text/json, text/x-json, and text/javascript. [27] The standard filename extension is .json. [28]
Since JSON text sequences cannot contain control characters, a record separator character can be used to delimit the sequences. In addition, it is suggested that each JSON text sequence be followed by a line feed character to allow proper handling of top-level JSON objects that are not self delimiting (numbers, true, false, and null).
As a superset of JSON, Ion includes the following data types null: An empty value; bool: Boolean values; string: Unicode text literals; list: Ordered heterogeneous collection of Ion values; struct: Unordered collection of key/value pairs; The nebulous JSON 'number' type is strictly defined in Ion to be one of int: Signed integers of arbitrary size
Gson utilizes reflection, meaning that classes do not have to be modified to be serialized or deserialized. By default, a class only needs a defined default (no-args) constructor; however, this requirement can be circumvented (see Features).
This makes accessing data in these formats much faster than data in formats requiring more extensive processing, such as JSON, CSV, and in many cases Protocol Buffers. Compared to other serialization formats however, the handling of FlatBuffers requires usually more code, and some operations are not possible (like some mutation operations).
Smile is a computer data interchange format based on JSON.It can also be considered a binary serialization of the generic JSON data model, which means tools that operate on JSON may be used with Smile as well, as long as a proper encoder/decoder exists for the tool.
If one is not specified, the media type of the data URI is assumed to be text/plain;charset=US-ASCII. An optional base64 extension base64 , separated from the preceding part by a semicolon. When present, this indicates that the data content of the URI is binary data , encoded in ASCII format using the Base64 scheme for binary-to-text encoding .
