What does "application/json'" really mean

Question

I don't know application's mean in "application/json", and can I replace it with "text/json". so application = text ?

" and can I replace it with "text/json". so application = text ?" sure you can, but it might not be recognized anymore as json by applications reading your request — Aaron, Jul 07 '17 at 15:54

I think you are meaning content type

Application : Represents any kind of binary data.

Text : Represents any document that contains text and is theoretically human readable
