SharePoint REST/OData APIs support [JSON light](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/blog/2014/08/13/json-light-support-rest-sharepoint-api-released/). This means that you can set headers in your API request that inform SharePoint whether to include any metadata in the response. In many cases, you do not require the metadata. Metadata makes things simpler to parse the output of the action.
