JSON

The default data format for the API is JSON.

JSON is based on key/value arrays.

    {
        "address": "66.90.73.46",
        "comment": "Your-Freedom Servers to help blocking access from Your-Freedom clients",
        "key": 86,
"link":
    [
        {
            "href": "http://localhost:8082/7.0/elements/host/86",
            "rel": "self",
            "type": "host"
        }
    ],
    "name": "Your-Freedom Servers",
    "read_only": true,
    "secondary":
    [
        "193.164.133.72",
        …
    ],
    "system": true,
    "third_party_monitoring":
    {
        "netflow": false,
        "snmp_trap": false
    }
  }

The system and read-only flags are correctly set to true to indicate that the element in question is a system/read-only element. The name and comment attributes are correctly shown. In addition, there is more specific information — the address, the secondary address, and the "third_party_monitoring" status. Finally, the self verb is shown on the link row.

The primary IP address of this system host is 66.90.73.46. The host also has several secondary IP addresses, and third-party monitoring is disabled.
