Cannot convert JSON to XML

Hey,
I got the following JSON response

"{\u000d\u000a \"$type\": \"Cloud.Messages.DeviceMessages.GetCCResponseDeviceMessage, DeviceMessages\",\u000d\u000a \"Cards\": {\u000d\u000a \"$type\": \"System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[Cloud.Messages.DeviceMessages.Card, DeviceMessages]], mscorlib\",\u000d\u000a \"$values\": []\u000d\u000a },\u000d\u000a \"Status\": 0\u000d\u000a}"

How can i convert this response to to XML?

    Hi,
    The response looks bit strange.
    In SoaupUI response editor- there is an XML view which automatically converts the JSON response to XML when you click on XML tab.
    Is that what you are looking for?

    As I mentioned earlier, the response doesn't look correct JSON.
    I tried to convert it to XML using: http://www.utilities-online.info/xmltojson/ but it failed.
    It converts to XML correctly if I change the response text to:
    { "$type": "Cloud.Messages.DeviceMessages.GetCCResponseDeviceMessage, DeviceMessages","Cards": {"$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[Cloud.Messages.DeviceMessages.Card, DeviceMessages]], mscorlib","$values": [] },"Status": 0}

    So, I think the service should be fixed to return the correct JSON (if possible), otherwise you can write a Groovy script to parse the response into valid JSON or XML.
