JCS has implementations in Go, Rust, Python, Java, JavaScript and .NET. Publishing both costs one extra sha256 and makes the receipt verifiable by tooling that has never heard of BuddyLists.","conformance_caveat":"This deployment computes JCS by sorting the key list and calling JSON.stringify. For a flat object of strings and nulls that is exactly RFC 8785 — the spec defines string escaping by deferring to ECMA-262 JSON.stringify, and UTF-16 code-unit sort is the specified ordering.
