CompTIA DataX (DY0-001) — Question 12

A data scientist is deploying a model that needs to be accessed by multiple departments with minimal development effort by the departments. Which of the following APIs would be best for the data scientist to use?

Answer options

• A. SOAP
• B. RPC
• C. JSON
• D. REST

Correct answer: D

Explanation

REST is the most suitable choice because it is designed for easy integration and is widely used for web services, allowing departments to access the model with minimal coding. SOAP and RPC are more complex and require more development effort, while JSON is a data format rather than an API type.
