Standard Formats
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use standard formats when building applications that require data exchange, storage, or communication between disparate systems, such as in APIs, web services, databases, or file handling
Pros
- +For example, JSON is essential for REST APIs, XML for configuration files or SOAP services, and CSV for data analysis in spreadsheets
- +Related to: json, xml
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict
Use Standard Formats if: You want for example, json is essential for rest apis, xml for configuration files or soap services, and csv for data analysis in spreadsheets and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Proprietary Formats if: You prioritize g over what Standard Formats offers.
