Supported Data Format

MyCarrier API favors JSON as its standard format for data interchange. The choice of JSON is driven by its efficiency and compactness compared to XML, as it requires fewer data bits for transmission and less computational effort for parsing and processing at both sending and receiving ends.

JSON structures data as string-based key/value pairs, where values can be arrays, strings, numbers, or even nested objects, making it versatile. The clearly defined key names facilitate rapid data traversal by JSON parsers, enabling the conversion of data into easily manageable objects within code.

Furthermore, JSON's lightweight nature enhances the speed of serialization and deserialization processes, allowing for swift data handling and manipulation.
