Note that this is only partially true, because the RFC includes only the DNS wireformat (for TCP, with a leading bytesize). [1]
The DNS JSON API is a google only thing, because even cloudflare's DNS use different MIME types and don't support the complete API and have varying support for base64 with/without padding characters and the full 65k frame size that the spec and drafts define. EDNS request options are also mostly unsupported in practice.
Even multiple questions (A/AAAA) are partially supported and oftentimes fail dependent on which server you get as an endpoint. The URL schema is also different from server to server because everybody implements their own thing.
