Q

What are the core components of the complete device API?

A

Data Models: These are the foundation of the API, defining the syntax and semantics, including the constraints, of working with the API.

Transport: The model-driven APIs support one or more transport methods, including SSH, TLS, and HTTP or HTTPS.

Encoding: The model-driven APIs support the choice of encoding, including XML and JSON, but also custom encodings such as Google Protocol Buffers.

Protocols: The model-driven APIs also support multiple protocol options. The three core protocols are NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gRPC. Remember, they are the core protocols that work with model-driven APIs. REST is not explicitly listed because when REST is used in a modeled device, it becomes RESTCONF.
