# Request/Response Format

The default response format is JSON. Requests with a message-body use plain JSON to set or update resource attributes. Successful requests will return a `200 OK` HTTP status.

Some general information about responses:

* Dates are returned in ISO8601 format: `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS`
* Resource IDs are returned as integers.
* Any decimal monetary amount, such as prices or totals, will be returned as strings with two decimal places.
* Other amounts, such as item counts, are returned as integers.
* Blank fields are generally included as `null` or \`empty string\` instead of being omitted.
