Mechanisms

• Canonical JSON Normalization
  • The team runs every incoming query object through a canonicalizer implementing the JSON Canonicalization Scheme: object members are sorted by key, numbers are serialized by the scheme's single numeric rule, and strings are put in Unicode NFC

    This sourceDefines JCS canonical JSON using deterministic property sorting and ECMAScript number serialization.

• Normalized Serialization
  • Standardized canonical forms like XML C14N and the JSON Canonicalization Scheme exist precisely because signing and hashing demand one byte form per logical value.

    This sourceDefines canonical JSON serialization as an invariant representation needed for reliably repeatable hashing and signing.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
