UBJSON

Okay kiddo, let me explain what UBJSON is.

Do you know what JSON is? It's a way to store and exchange data in a format that computers can understand. But JSON can be a bit big and slow sometimes. That's where UBJSON comes in!

UBJSON is just a different way of formatting data that is faster and more efficient than JSON. It stands for "Universal Binary JSON" because it can be used in different programming languages and it's encoded as binary data.

Think about it like this: imagine you're building a tower with blocks. JSON is like using big, colorful blocks that are fun to play with and easy to see, but they take up a lot of space and it takes time to stack them up. UBJSON, on the other hand, is like using smaller, plain blocks that are faster to stack and leave more space for other things.

So when you use UBJSON, you can send and receive data faster and with less data storage. It's like a secret language that computers can understand really well and use to talk to each other quickly.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
