Hey eissaeva

Easiest way to convert json to xml in a response is to add the 'Accept' http header to the request that generates the response.

The value you set for the header will be 'application/xml'.

This will set the response sent back from your endpoint as xml

Cheers

richie, this is only true provided the service is implemented like that. Doesn't work otherwise.
