Implementing Automation for Cisco Service Provider Solutions (SPAUTO) — Question 19

Which data format should be used to serialize structured data in the most compact way?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Protobufs are designed to be a highly efficient serialization format, minimizing the size of the data. In contrast, YAML, JSON, and XML are more human-readable but generally result in larger file sizes, making them less suitable for compact data serialization.
