JSON
JavaScript Object Notation
Lightweight data interchange format widely used for APIs and web-based financial services.
JSON provides human-readable data formatting for financial applications including trading platforms, market data APIs, and regulatory reporting systems. The format supports nested objects, arrays, and various data types making it suitable for complex financial data structures. JSON's simplicity and widespread programming language support make it popular for RESTful APIs, web applications, and mobile trading platforms. In finance, JSON is commonly used for trade confirmations, market data distribution, client reporting, and system integration. The format enables easy parsing and generation across different programming environments while maintaining data integrity. Modern financial technology increasingly relies on JSON for data exchange between cloud services, microservices architectures, and third-party integrations.
