What changes when converting CDR to 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.

What should I review after converting CDR to JSON?
