# Response Formatting
Responses from the `rippled` APIs is formatted slightly differently based on whether the method is called with the WebSocket, JSON-RPC, or Commandline interfaces. The Commandline and JSON-RPC interfaces use the same format because the Commandline interface calls JSON-RPC.
The fields of a successful response include:
| `Field` | Type | Description |
|:----------------|:---------|:------------------------------------------------|
| `id` | (Varies) | (WebSocket only) ID provided in the request that prompted this response |
| `status` | String | (WebSocket only) The value `success` indicates the request was successfully received and understood by the server. |
| `result.status` | String | (JSON-RPC and Commandline) The value `success` indicates the request was successfully received and understood by the server. |
| `type` | String | (WebSocket only) The value `response` indicates a successful response to a command. [Asynchronous notifications](subscribe.html) use a different value such as `ledgerClosed` or `transaction`. |
| `result` | Object | The result of the query; contents vary depending on the command. |
