For the Connectors group of transformers, which best describes their purpose?

• A. Enables data sharing via a web service without custom API calls
• B. Enables direct API calls for each dataset
• C. Does not support cloud databases
• D. Only works with local files

Answer: (A)

Connectors are designed to facilitate data exchange by using web services, so data can be shared or accessed through a standardized web service interface rather than building custom API calls for each dataset. This makes it easy to publish or consume data across systems without writing bespoke API code for every source. That’s why describing their purpose as enabling data sharing via a web service without custom API calls best fits. The other statements are too narrow or inaccurate: connectors are not limited to local files, they can work with cloud databases, and they are about leveraging web services rather than requiring direct, dataset‑specific API calls for every case.
