DNG

The DNG (Digital Negative) format is a royalty-free file format for raw images developed by Adobe. It serves as a universal standard that preserves the integrity of original raw images while allowing for easy editing and archiving. By supporting DNG, photographers ensure compatibility with a wide range of software and equipment, enhancing workflow efficiency and image preservation.

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. Widely used in web applications for data exchange, JSON supports a text format that is completely language-independent, making it a preferred choice for APIs and configuration files.
