"To get portable data, you need to pick a representation that is usable in most programming languages"

"To get portable behavior, you need a maintainable program standard that runs on most computer systems"

JavaScript Object Notation [JSON] is another example of a scalable language. Specifically, JSON provides for standalone use of a declarative subset of the literal declaration syntax from the JavaScript language. Standardization of language subsets can facilitate simple models for Web publishing, while providing for integration with more powerful language variants when necessary.

It's a simple protocol built on webhooks. These webhooks are provided by 3rd parties, known as hubs.
