Abstract

A text-based, schema-first, document-oriented, streamable data interchange format.

Internet Object is a data interchange format designed for modern web communication over the internet. This specification introduces Internet Object as a text-based, schema-first, document-oriented, and streamable format that prioritizes human readability and language independence. By separating the schema from the data, it serializes structured data compactly for efficient transmission between servers and clients across the web, while preserving the clarity and approachability of a plain-text format.
