Why each option
On Cisco IOS XE Software, RESTCONF supports both JSON and XML for data encoding, while NETCONF primarily relies on XML as its encoding format.
Cisco IOS XE Software implements NETCONF, which exclusively uses XML for its data encoding, while RESTCONF, a more modern protocol, provides flexibility by supporting both XML and JSON data encodings for northbound interfaces.
This statement is incorrect because NETCONF on Cisco IOS XE does not natively support JSON as an encoding format; it is fundamentally XML-based.
While RESTCONF supports both JSON and XML, NETCONF on IOS XE does not support JSON, rendering this statement inaccurate.
This statement is incorrect because RESTCONF supports JSON in addition to XML, and NETCONF does not support JSON.
