Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 265

What does the REST API support that SOAP does NOT support?

Answer options

• A. Caching
• B. Encryption
• C. Acceleration
• D. Redundancy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as REST APIs inherently support caching mechanisms to enhance performance and reduce server load, which is not a built-in feature of SOAP. While encryption, acceleration, and redundancy can be implemented in both protocols, they are not unique to REST like caching is.
