MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 31

A retailer is designing a data exchange interface to be used by its suppliers. The interface must support secure communication over the public internet. The interface must also work with a wide variety of programming languages and IT systems used by suppliers.
What are suitable interface technologies for this data exchange that are secure, cross-platform, and internet friendly, assuming that Anypoint Connectors exist for these interface technologies?

Answer options

• A. CSV over FTP YAML over TLS JSON over HTTPS
• B. SOAP over HTTPS IIOP over TLS gRPC over HTTPS
• C. EDIFACT XML over SFTP JSON/REST over HTTPS
• D. XML over ActiveMQ XML over SFTP XML/REST over HTTPS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because EDIFACT and JSON/REST over HTTPS provide secure and widely accepted formats for data exchange that are compatible with various programming languages and systems. Options A and D lack the necessary security or cross-platform compatibility, while B includes technologies that may not be as universally supported in diverse IT environments.
