Input and output formats

When you create or modify a resource through the HCP management API, you use XML or JSON to specify the resource properties. When you request information about resources, you can ask for the response to be returned in XML format or in JSON format. For one resource, chargebackReport, you can also ask for the response to be returned in CSV format.

The response to an OPTIONS request is always returned as Web Application Description Language (WADL). WADL is an XML-based description language for HTTP-based web applications.

All responses returned through the management API are UTF-8 encoded. The request bodies you create for input to the API must also be UTF-8 encoded.
