I am taking the front-end role in a project. Should I be specifying for my back-end teammates the exact format of JSON that their PHP returns to my JavaScript?
For example, should I be telling them they should use a format similar to one described here:
Proper way to structure JSON for front-end consumption
Or should I keep my role as sterile as possible, and simply describe in words the inputs and outputs I need from their back-end interface? (Of course, if this happens it might be more difficult on my part to handle their different data structure formats)
