    I'm not sure about the exact cause; but, I guess the issue is with the response Content-Type which holds "text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1". Hence, SoapUI doesn't detects in the JSON response viewer.I just tried with one of my REST service and SoapUI displayed perfect JSON view with the Content-Type - application/json

     

     

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

    When I tried to reproduce your scenario, with response Content-Type as "text/plain", the JSON response viewer displays "The content you are trying to view cannot be viewed as JSON".

     

    As suggested by nmrao, please check with the service provider to match the Content-Type that suits with Front-end application.

     

    Thanks,

    I think the value which was to Content-Tye may not valid. i.e., application/Json instead of application/json; charset=UTF-8, charset can be whatever supported. Could be an issue with case sensitivity(Your case it is Capital Json instead of all small json)

Hi Kondasamy,

 

Thank you so much for your inputs:)

Yes, clearly issue is with content-Type. With your reply, that got confirmed as you were able to see JSON view for your REST services.

 

I approached my dev team to make necessary code changes to solve this issue on our end.
