Which of the following does not produce API output in JSON format?

• 350-601 : All Parts

Of the available choices, only a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) does not produce Application Programming Interface (API) output in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. SOAP is an older API messaging protocol that uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) to enable communication between devices. SOAP APIs are typically more resource-intensive than more modern APIs and, therefore, slower. Open APIs can be used to enable services such as billing automation and centralized management of cloud infrastructure.
Representational state transfer (REST) produces output in either JSON or XML format. REST is an API architecture that uses HTTP or HTTP Secure (HTTPS) to enable external resources to access and make use of programmatic methods that are exposed by the API. For example, a web application that retrieves user product reviews from an online marketplace for display on third-party websites might obtain those reviews by using methods provided in an API that is developed and maintained by that marketplace. REST APIs can return data in XML format or in JSON format.
Graph Query Language (GraphQL) produces output in JSON format. GraphQL is an API query language and a runtime that is intended to lower the burden of making multiple API calls to obtain a single set of data. For example, data that requires three or four HTTP GET requests when constructed from a standard REST API might take only one request when using GraphQL. Similar to REST API, GraphQL output is in JSON format. Although GraphQL can use HTTP or HTTPS, it is not limited to those protocols.
Falcor produces output in JSON format. Falcor was developed by Netflix to transport its user interfaces. Similar to GraphQL, Falcor is an attempt to simplify the process of querying an API for remote data by reducing the number of requests that are required to retrieve the data.
