# Supported Data Formats

The StrandVision API supports responses as either XML or JSON data formats. The response format is specified by passing the x-apiResponse field or using the content-type and accept HTTP headers. If no valid format is specified, JSON is automatically selected.
> info
> If you are manually testing, most web browsers will auto select XML due to the accept headers that are sent.  Append &x-apiResponse=JSON to the end of the web url to force a JSON result to be returned.
