3GP at a glance

3GP

It is a reasonable compatibility target for archival workflows involving legacy handsets.

For general-purpose delivery, MP4 is the more practical modern choice.

JSON at a glance

JSON

Convert to JSON when data needs to move between systems, APIs, scripts, and applications in a structured but broadly compatible format.

It is ideal for payloads, configuration, manifests, exports, and machine-readable documents that need to be easy to parse programmatically.

Use it when interoperability and structured automation matter more than comments or document-style readability.
