The idiomatic RESTful approach would not specify the desired format in the URL, but to
instead use the "accept" HTTP header to specify the acceptable MIME types the
client desires:
GET /{catalog}/{schema}/{table}?column1=value HTTP/1.1
accept: application/json,application/xml,text/xml
If only one media type is desired, then just list one.
This is a far better option than specifying
