About
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.
The Trace Context specification defines standard HTTP headers and a value format for propagating context information that enables distributed tracing.
