"I need a way to send and receive data that both humans and machines can understand."
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy to read and write, while XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
