    raptor,

     

    The api support both xml / json formats.

     

    User needs to provide it thru query parameter.

     

    In the resource, define a parameter format of TEMPLATE type.

     

    In the requests, provide the value for format.

     

    Please see the attachment for details.

     

     

    Hope this is clear.

These view options are just for the sake of pretty-printing the response to you (as the SoapUI user). Meaning it just applies colors, and alignment etc to make it easy to read. But it is not actually converting anything. And since the content is not XML, SoapUI won't try to pretty-print it as if it were.

 

It is possible to convert the response to XML using Groovy. Here's one way to do it:

 

Add an Assertion to the Test Request. Choose Script Assertion as the assertion type, and enter:

 

log.info messageExchange.responseContentAsXml

Then press the green Play button. The converted response will appear in the Script Log (at the bottom of your SoapUI workspace).
