Standards

We love open standards, there are so many to pick from. When possible we implement those, since they are better scrutinized, have wider support, and make interaction easier.

In alphabetical order:

• ECMA-404: The JSON Data Interchange Standard (since XML is old and binary formats…)
• ISO 10646 / RFC 2277: Unicode UTF-8, working with all languages

• ISO/IEC 20802-2:2016: Open data protocol (OData) v4.0 — Part 2: OData JSON
• ISO 8601: Date and Time information, timezone aware
• JSON Schema: The upcoming standard for JSON structure specifications
