[1] It is often used when uploading a file or when submitting a completed web form.
It is a means for the browser to tell the server and any intermediate caches that it wants a fresh version of the resource. The Pragma: no-cache header field, defined in the HTTP/1.0 spec, has the same purpose. It, however, is only defined for the request header. Its meaning in a response header is not specified. [77]

JSON Schema specifies a JSON-based format to define the structure of JSON data for validation, documentation, and interaction control. It provides a contract for the JSON data required by a given application and how that data can be modified. [ 29 ]
HTTP compression is a capability that can be built into web servers and web clients to improve transfer speed and bandwidth utilization. [1]HTTP data is compressed before it is sent from the server: compliant browsers will announce what methods are supported to the server before downloading the correct format; browsers that do not support compliant compression method will download uncompressed ...
HTTP/3, the successor to HTTP/2, was published in 2022. [13] As of February 2024, it is now used on 30.9% of websites [14] and is supported by most web browsers, i.e. (at least partially) supported by 97% of users. [15] HTTP/3 uses QUIC instead of TCP for the underlying transport protocol. Like HTTP/2, it does not obsolete previous major ...
Smile is a computer data interchange format based on JSON.It can also be considered a binary serialization of the generic JSON data model, which means tools that operate on JSON may be used with Smile as well, as long as a proper encoder/decoder exists for the tool.
For version 1.1 of the HTTP protocol, the chunked transfer mechanism is considered to be always and anyway acceptable, even if not listed in the TE (transfer encoding) request header field, and when used with other transfer mechanisms, should always be applied last to the transferred data and never more than one time.
