Summary (TL;DR)
JSON:API is a specification for building APIs in JSON. It helps teams avoid debates over response format by providing conventions that increase productivity, enable caching, and allow generalized tooling. The standard covers resources, relationships, links, and pagination, as well as creating and updating resources. It has IANA media type application/vnd.api+json, base documentation, and community extensions called profiles. Milestones include 1.1 final in 2022, 1.0 in 2015, and IANA registration in 2013.
