A detailed analysis of data consistency concepts in data exchange formats (JSON & XML)

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a syntax for exchanging and storing data, the text data is converted in Object form and processed. The consistency and data integrity are the big challenges of payload delivery. In general, a message digest which is a cryptographic one way hash function containing a set of digits is used to protect the integrity of a data. The message digest is attached with the main data content and verified by the receiver, in turn it warns the receiver about the malfunctioning of payload. There are many standard algorithms exist to create the digest. This paper gives detailed review of the different algorithms suitable for XML and JSON documents and compares the performance of different algorithms.
