The JSON data for this rule will be consumed by FedRAMP and agency GRC tools using automation with web-based tools. Do not expect FedRAMP or your customers to download this data directly, it should be accessible for common web frameworks. FedRAMP strongly recommends that application engineering experts be involved in making public JSON data and the related information available in a way that can work with web-based applications.
