Data Format
Data Format covers the syntactic conventions used to represent, exchange, and persist information. The landscape spans text formats (JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, TOML), binary formats (Protocol Buffers, Avro, Parquet, ORC, MessagePack, BSON, CBOR, Arrow), and schema languages and IDLs that govern how those formats are validated and evolved.
Data Format is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Data Format is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
