Can the data within JSON files have versions depending on how it's structured and what it represents. For example, if I am storing data that evolves over time and I want to track the changes made to the structure or content of that data, I might include a version field within your JSON data to indicate which version of the schema or data format it adheres to.
Also with APIs that consume or produce JSON data, the API itself might have versioning mechanisms to ensure compatibility between different versions of the API, which could be reflected in the JSON payloads exchanged between the client and server.
- Is this a standard practice?
- Are there any tools which can be used to take the JSON version and apply format validations in Python or JavaScript?
