🆚 JSON vs. OpenID

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, language-independent data exchange format derived from JavaScript and used to structure and transmit data between systems.

It represents data as key-value pairs and ordered arrays, supports various data types, and is widely used in web APIs, configuration files, and data storage.

OpenID is a decentralized authentication protocol based on OAuth 2.0 that enables applications to verify a user's identity through an external identity provider instead of managing credentials directly.

It adds an identity layer on top of OAuth by issuing ID tokens that confirm who the user is, supports single sign-on across multiple services, and allows retrieval of basic profile information.
