In Salesforce B2C Commerce, which format is primarily used for data interchange?

In Salesforce B2C Commerce, JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is primarily used for data interchange due to its lightweight nature and ease of use. JSON is easy for humans to read and write, and for machines to parse and generate, which enhances data processing efficiency.

This format is particularly beneficial in web development, including Salesforce B2C Commerce, as it is widely supported across different platforms and programming languages. It facilitates seamless communication between the server and the client, making it a popular choice for APIs and web services, where data needs to be exchanged dynamically.

In contrast, XML, while also a data interchange format, is often considered more verbose and complex compared to JSON, making it less optimal for performance in many scenarios. CSV is primarily used for tabular data and is not as flexible as JSON for structured data interchange. HTML, on the other hand, is not a data interchange format but rather a markup language for creating web pages, thus it does not serve the purpose of data interchange in the same context as JSON does.
