For the sake of this discussion, those protocols serve only as a channel. |

You have to send some kind of data structure over that channel indicating |
| 13 |
data about state. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This requires the data to have a defined format, and potentially a |
| 16 |
versioning scheme for that format. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
And not just a defined format, like JSON for instance, but a defined |
| 19 |
structure of JSON representation with keys and values being clearly |
| 20 |
stipulated. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
You can't just send arbitrary freeform JSON to a random server and hope it |
| 23 |
pulls sense out of fat air. |
