Data and encoding

JSON is strict structured data for APIs. YAML is human-friendly config. Base64 represents bytes as text. URL encoding protects reserved characters in links.

Identity and integrity

UUIDs identify records. Hashes fingerprint data. JWTs carry claims and require verification before they are trusted.

Web publishing

CORS controls browser access to cross-origin responses. CSP limits allowed resources. Open Graph shapes social previews. Schema markup helps crawlers understand entities.
