Serialization Formats
The BigOven Recipe API currently supports two serialization formats: XML (Extensible Markup Language), and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).
Requesting a Serialization Format
The API uses the HTTP "Accept" header of the request in order to determine the serialization format of the returned data.
| Serialization Format | HTTP Accept Header |
| XML | text/xml |
| JSON | application/json |
