SOAP is a protocol specification for exchanging structured information in web

Json is a markup language like HTML , XML use to send data...

OData is Web protocol for querying and updating data..

OData and SOAP are protocols whereas JSON is a data format (defines the syntax and semantics of data representation).

Protocols might or might not enforce the use of specific data formats (I think normally they do).

For example, OData uses JSON, SOAP uses XML.
