## Unified JSON Contract

Every SportXAPI cricket endpoint adheres to a standardized response contract:

* **Bare Data Objects:** Unnecessary wrapping envelopes are removed; endpoints directly return the relevant data object or collection.
* **Consistent Casing:** All JSON keys use `camelCase`.
* **Explicit Missing Values:** Unpopulated or absent fields return `null` instead of omitting keys.
* **High Efficiency:** Optimized response sizes designed for lightning-fast parsing on web and mobile clients.
