Default Data Encoding for ACI APIC API Inspector Response Output

B.

The default data encoding for the response output of the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Application Programming Interface (API) inspector is JSON.

The ACI APIC API is a RESTful API that allows users to programmatically interact with the ACI fabric. It supports a variety of data formats, including JSON, XML, and YAML, but the default data encoding for the response output is JSON.

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a lightweight data interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write, and it is also easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is widely used in web applications and is the preferred format for many APIs because of its simplicity and flexibility.

To specify a different data encoding format for the ACI APIC API response output, you can include a header in your API request that specifies the desired format. For example, to request XML output, you would include the following header in your API request:

Accept: application/xml

Overall, JSON is the default data encoding for the response output of the ACI APIC API inspector, but it supports multiple data formats to provide flexibility for users.
