The content *model* Wikidata uses is the one with Statements and Snaks,
described by the Wikidata data model spec. The content *format* used for
serialization is JSON. The mapping from the internal model to JSON is currently
not formally described, the internal JSON serialization is an implementation
detail. The external JSON serialization as used by the web API is similar to,
but not necessarily the same as the serialization used to represent Wikidata
items internally. The JSON form used in the API is documented to some extend on
the Extension:Wikibase page on mediawiki.org, but it's still subject to change.
