I agree with the high level point, but I’m not sure I have similar experiences. No system I’ve worked on has ever directly logged over-the-wire bytes (for obvious privacy reasons), so really the protocol can be binary. In fact, for years now most of my work has been with ProtoBufs, which has amazing tooling and an oft-forgotten text format for us mortals.
- Sn0wCoder 3y agoSorry for the confusion, it’s not like a text log on the server. API A is calling API B. API B grabs the data from the data store, before sending to API A – API B logs the JSON in the same data store that the data is coming from. When end user of API A says did you send me the right info, end user in API A says yes I can see the data being sent via UI. I mean yes this could all be ONES and ZEROS but nice to let some admin user prove to other user that data was sent VIA JSON object that API A accepts. IDK they are all ONES and ZEROS some are just easier for end user to grok.
