1/8
“url”:”string”
},
“version”: “string”
}

Answer: D

Explanation

JSON data is written as name/value pairs.

A name/value pair consists of a field name (in double quotes), followed by a colon,
followed by a value:
“name”:”Mark”

JSON can use arrays. Array values must be of type string, number, object, array, boolean
or null. For example:
{
“name”:”John”,
“age”:30,
“cars”:[ “Ford”, “BMW”, “Fiat” ]
}

JSON can have empty object like “taskId”:{}

C. used for storing information

Question 7

Which type of API would be used to allow authorized salespeople of an organization

access to internal sales data from their mobile devices?
A. partner
B. open
C. public
D. private

Answer: D

Explanation

There are three types of API:

+ Open APIs (Public APIs) – These APIs are publicly available and can be used with
no restrictions. Because these APIs are public, many API providers require the user to get
a free key, or token, prior to using the API. This is to help control the number of API
requests they receive and process.
+ Internal (Private APIs) – These are APIs that are used by an organization or
company to access data and services for internal use only. An example of an internal API
is allowing authorized salespeople access to internal sales data on their mobile devices.
+ Partner APIs – These are APIs that are used between a company and its business
partners or contractors to facilitate business between them. The business partner must
have a license or other form of permission to use the API. A travel service using an
airline’s API is an example of a partner API.

Question 8

What is a characteristic of the REST API?

A. evolved into what became SOAP
B. used for exchanging XML structured information over HTTP or SMTP
C. considered slow, complex, and rigid
D. most widely used API for web services

Answer: D

Explanation

REST API is an API that works on top of the HTTP protocol. It defines a set of functions
developers can use to perform requests and receive responses via
HTTP protocol such as GET and POST. REST APIs are the most popular API used for web
services nowadays.
