Global Standards
Global Standards refer to internationally recognized specifications, guidelines, or characteristics for products, services, or processes, established by consensus through organizations like ISO, IEEE, or W3C. They ensure interoperability, quality, safety, and efficiency across industries and borders, facilitating global trade and collaboration. In technology, they underpin protocols, data formats, and system architectures that enable seamless integration and communication.
Developers should learn and apply Global Standards to build systems that are compatible, secure, and scalable in a global market, such as when creating web APIs using REST or GraphQL, implementing data exchange with JSON or XML, or ensuring accessibility with WCAG. This knowledge is crucial for roles in multinational companies, open-source projects, or industries like finance and healthcare where compliance and interoperability are mandated.
