What is jsontp?

• jsontp is a new standard, aimed to increase interoperability with existing standards across the web, rather than relying on the unique nature of HTTP.
• it uses TCP as the transport layer, and JSON as the data format, which is already widely used across the web.

Why jsontp?

• jsontp is designed to be a more efficient and reliable way to transfer data across the web. It's standard is stricter than HTTP, and it's designed to be very similar if not the same across all platforms.
• the standard, while written in formal English, is not written in a way that is difficult to understand. It's designed to be easy to understand and implement.

Core concepts

• there are two main concepts in jsontp: the request and the response. The request is the data that is sent to the server, and the response is the data that is sent back to the client.
• the request and response are both JSON objects, and they are both sent over TCP.
• they are both sent in a specific format, which is defined in the jsontp standard, and explained later in this book.
