    Hi gztpd​ 

    This appears to be a SoapUI JSON-editor/UI limitation (or regression), not an API issue. The raw response confirms the server returns a valid application/json body with Content-Length: 2 and payload []. An empty JSON array is valid JSON and is semantically different from a zero-length response body.

    Please use the Raw tab as the source of truth . SoapUI’s newer response editor is selected based on the response content type, which may explain why this behavior is visible in the JSON tab.

    Hope this helps !!
