# JSON-RPC API Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Pantheon JSON-RPC API uses the [JSON-RPC v2.0](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) specification of the JSON-RPC protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [JSON](http://json.org/) (RFC 4627) format which represents
|
||
|
|
objects and data fields as collections of name/value pairs, in a readable, hierarchical form.
|
||
|
|
Values have specific data types such as quantities (decimal integers, hexadecimal numbers, strings) and
|
||
|
|
unformatted data (byte arrays, account addresses, hashes, and bytecode arrays).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RPC is the remote procedure call protocol (RFC 1831). The protocol is stateless and transport agnostic in that the concepts
|
||
|
|
can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in various message passing environments.
