Why are you using a browser to test microservices, for which browsers are an atypical-at-best client?

Amiga got right what Unix got wrong: A well-structured, open binary protocol is almost always preferable to a "plain text" protocol because the parsing overhead really adds up.

Little endian won. If you're developing modern software for modern machines, you pretty much needn't even consider big endian.
