Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 116

When a Cisco IOS XE networking device is configured using RESTCONF, what is the default data-encoding method?

Answer options

• A. JSON
• B. YAML
• C. XML
• D. x-form-encoding

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The default data-encoding method for RESTCONF on a Cisco IOS XE networking device is XML, which is the standard format used for data representation in RESTful APIs. JSON and YAML are alternative formats but are not the defaults, while x-form-encoding is typically used for form submissions, not for RESTCONF.
