How does the XML API relate to NETCONF in Junos automation?

The XML API is a separate protocol that runs alongside NETCONF

The XML API and NETCONF are interchangeable terms for the same thing

NETCONF is a protocol that transports XML-encoded Junos operations and data

NETCONF is a data format, and the XML API is the protocol that transmits it

An engineer is automating a configuration change that must be applied to multiple Junos devices. The engineer wants to ensure that if the change fails on one device, the script can identify which device failed and why. The script will use the XML API. What is the best approach to handle errors in this scenario?

Check only the element in each response; if it is present, the change succeeded.

Use the element to determine if the change failed.

Use a single element that targets all devices at once.

Parse the element in each device's response and correlate it with the device's IP address.

What is a key difference between configuration data and operational state data in Junos XML?

Configuration data is stored in XML, while operational data is stored in plain text

Operational data is persistent across reboots, while configuration data is not

Configuration data is read-only, while operational data can be modified

Configuration data represents the desired state, while operational data represents the actual state
