Question

A clerk assumes any JSON API feed is "volume" when the real pain is dozens of drifting schemas across partners. Which correction is accurate?

Accepted Answer

Volume is about scale of data; variety is about heterogeneous types and schemas—so many drifting schemas are a variety problem. — Volume is "how much"; variety is "how many shapes." A skinny JSON fire hose with twenty quarreling schemas is a variety headache wearing a volume nametag. Fix the label so the fix matches the pain.

Answer

JSON always means velocity and never relates to schemas.

Answer

Schema drift across many formats is still called volume because volume means "any API."

Answer

Variety only applies to video files, so JSON schema chaos must be labeled veracity.
