HPE7-A08 Exam - Topic 4 Question 13 Discussion

The Aruba CX switches REST API supports the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data format for both requests and responses. JSON is widely adopted for REST APIs due to its lightweight and readable format.

XML and YAML are not supported for REST API on CX switches.

SOAP is a different protocol not used by Aruba CX REST API.

Therefore, JSON is the correct and supported data format.
