Explanation

RESTCONF on Cisco IOS XE uses XML as its default data-encoding format. RESTCONF is an HTTP-based protocol that provides a REST-like interface to YANG-modeled data, and XML was the original and default encoding. JSON encoding is also supported but must be explicitly requested via the Accept/Content-Type headers. YANG is the data modeling language, not an encoding format. YAML is not used by RESTCONF.
