API Guide

JSON data
Console API represents data using JSON. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is readable and can also be easily
parsed by machines. JSON is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language. JSON uses a text format that is
language independent but uses conventions familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages such as C, C++, C#, Java,
JavaScript, PERL, and Python. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
HTTPS communication
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol or HTTP is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information
systems. HTTP forms the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. Secure HTTP (HTTPS) is a secure
version of HTTP where it operates within a network connection encrypted by TLS or SSL. By enforcing HTTPS, the security of
console management is significantly enhanced.
