# JSON & JSONP

TMDB only uses JavaScript Object Notation(JSON) as the only text-based format for storing and displaying data.

<Tip>
  if you are adding any body response to any of the endpoints, the format is like this:

  ```shell Validating Request token with login details theme={null}
       curl --request POST \
            --url https://api.themoviedb.org/3/authentication/token/validate_with_login \
            --header 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
            --header 'accept: application/json' \
            --header 'content-type: application/json' \
            --data '
       {
       "username": "johnny_appleseed",
       "password": "test123",
       "request_token": "1531f1a558c8357ce8990cf887ff196e8f5402ec"
       }
  ```
</Tip>

If you are using a JavaScript library and need to make requests from another public domain,
you can use the callback paramater which will encapsulate the JSON response in a JavaScript function for you.

```shell Example JSONP Request theme={null}
curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=Batman&callback=test' \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN' \
     --header 'accept: application/json'
```
