What is the data option of eth_sendTransaction?

Question

I am trying to send ERC20 token using JSON RPC. I am very new in this step and learning. I am using eth_sendTransaction function. What is "value" and "data" option in this case ? Please help

Answer 1

value is the amount of Ether transferred and should be 0 because you do not want to transfer any ETH.
data is the hex-encoded execution of the ERC20 transfer, e.g., the method name called, and it's parameters.
I highly recommend using a wallet that supports ERC20 tokens
