Clojure has its own preferred data format, EDN.[99] It’s also common to use a more performant format that has feature parity with EDN called Transit.[100] Transit leverages existing high-performance serializers for JSON[101] and MessagePack[102] while leaving the developer experience relatively unchanged.
This appendix provides a brief introduction to these two data formats, along with some common usage examples.
