When you make a GET call to a server-side API, which format is data returned in? (Select 1 answer).

When making a GET request to a server-side API, data is most commonly returned in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It's widely adopted due to its simplicity and compatibility across various programming languages and platforms. While JavaScript is a programming language often used to process JSON, it's not the data format itself. Protobuf (Protocol Buffers) is another data serialization format, but it's less common for general-purpose RESTful API responses compared to JSON.
