Comprehensive programmability features available on enhanced Cisco NX-OS on the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series 

enable custom automation and scripting. 

Cisco NX-API on the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches allows web-based programmatic access to the Cisco 

Nexus 9000 Series. This support is delivered through an open source web server, NGINX. Cisco NX-API exposes 

the complete configuration and management capabilities of the CLI through web-based APIs. The Cisco Nexus 

9000 Series Switches can be instructed to publish the output of the API calls in either XML or JSON format. This 

comprehensive, easy-to-use API enables rapid development on the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches 

(Figure 13).
