Protocol typically implies a conversation. Expectations and messaging.
That said, synonyms all over the place. So, I can see it. I think I would avoid it here, as this would also make "mp3" a protocol. Data format already covers that, though. Whereas something like WebRTC seems more in the protocol vein.
- SoftTalker 3y agoI think many people think of JSON as a protocol as it's almost always used in the context of HTTP, which is a protocol. They're just combining the data format and the protcol when they say "JSON"
- taeric 3y agoI mean, sure? But I don't think we'd accept people calling HTML a protocol, would we?
