Types Of Languages Used In Creating APIs
There are two most commonly used languages for communication between platforms:
1. JSON
JavaScript Object Notation is the language that works on JS concepts, can use an array, and is easy and quick to read.
{"Students":[
{ "firstName":"Harry", "lastName":"Potter" },
{ "firstName":"Steve", "lastName":"Smith" },
{ "firstName":"Tony", "lastName":"Starc" }
]}
2. XML
Extensible Markup Language is the language that do have tags and is used earlier when JSON hasn’t got introduced. Now, it is not that in use.
