CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 55

Which two encoding methods are supported by REST APIs? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. SGML
• B. YAML
• C. XML
• D. JSON
• E. EBCDIC

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are XML and JSON, as both are widely used for data interchange in REST APIs due to their lightweight nature and ease of use. SGML and EBCDIC are outdated or less common formats, while YAML, although useful, is not as prevalent as XML and JSON in RESTful communications.
