JSON is great for sharing data in a human readable format but sometimes it lacks in object types support. ESON does not re-invent the wheel, it just provides a base for you to implement extended JSON objects allowing you to share data between services, apps and languages as objects.
ESON comes with built in extensions for date and datetime. You can write your own extensions to manage custom data.
- Sharing data between services over HTTP
