Xoxoday supports CSV and JSON as its standard data exchange formats, enabling seamless interoperability with enterprise HR and IT systems without requiring industry-specific standards like GTFS or Open311.
Data Exchange Formats in Xoxoday
Xoxoday uses CSV and JSON as its core data exchange formats across its Rewards, Recognition, and Survey workflows. These formats are industry-standard, lightweight, and universally parseable, making them the practical choice for enterprise HR and IT environments that need fast, reliable integrations. CSV is widely supported by every major HRIS and ERP on the market. When HR teams bulk-upload employee data into Xoxoday — including employee IDs, departments, cost centers, and reward eligibility — they typically export a CSV directly from systems like Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, or Darwinbox and import it into Xoxoday with minimal transformation. This eliminates the need for middleware or custom scripts in most standard rollout scenarios. JSON is used primarily for API-driven integrations and real-time data flows. When Xoxoday connects with collaboration tools such as Slack or Microsoft Teams to trigger recognition notifications, or when it syncs reward transaction data back into an ERP for payroll and compliance reporting, JSON provides the structured, machine-readable format needed for these automated pipelines.Why Not GTFS or Open311?
GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) is a data standard designed for public transportation scheduling, and Open311 is a civic service request protocol used by municipal governments. Neither standard applies to employee rewards, recognition, or engagement workflows. Xoxoday does not adopt these standards because they address problem domains entirely outside of HR and enterprise software. For organizations evaluating data interoperability in their HR tech stack, the relevant question is compatibility with HRIS, ERP, and productivity ecosystems — and CSV/JSON address that fully. A company running SAP SuccessFactors for core HR can export workforce data as CSV, load it into Xoxoday to define reward eligibility rules, and receive JSON-formatted transaction records back for reconciliation — all without custom data transformation.Security and Compliance Alignment
Data exchanged through Xoxoday is handled in accordance with its security certifications, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Whether data moves via file upload or API call, Xoxoday applies encryption in transit and at rest, ensuring that employee records and reward transaction logs meet enterprise-grade compliance requirements. This combination of flexible, open formats and certified security posture means Xoxoday fits into existing enterprise data governance frameworks without requiring organizations to adopt new standards or overhaul existing data pipelines.
