Hi,

By the way, JSON can now be handled natively in SoapUI Pro. There are new JSON assertions such as JsonPath introduced in 5.1 release as an FYI even though you can still use the XPath assertion.

So, what functionality do you feel you are losing by not being able to see the XML representation of the JSON?

    Just upgraded from 5.0.0 to 5.1.3 and encountered this problem immediately. Without being able to see the XML representation of a response, how does one construct an XPath expression for (e.g.) assertions, property transfer? The mapping from JSON to XML is not always obvious (e.g. arrays), so without being able to see the XML, this seems like a major hurdle. I have experience of doing this in 5.0, so I can probably figure it out from my existing test cases, but for a new user, it seems to make the system unusable for working with JSON responses of any complexity.

     

    Is there some other feature in 5.1.x that compensates for this? What am I missing?
