RestAPI response - can we move to MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON?
Hello Team,
What are the use cases or reasoning behind supporting and maintaining
MediaType.TEXT_XML, MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON
responses for RestAPIs. Can we move away from XML responses and just
support JSON response. This would make marshalling and unmarshalling easier.
Thanks
Balu

Hi Balu, We aren't doing anything in particular to support an additional mime type besides adding the annotation. Jersey is doing that for us.

Hi Srikanth
Sorry for the delayed response. There are no issues currently in supporting
the mime types. I want to understand if there is a compelling reason for
supporting XML and JSON. If not, going forward we can spend fewer
resources by supporting XML or JSON. The consumer of API can easily
convert from JSON to XML or vice-versa if needed. My experience has been
that JSON is simpler to produce and maintain.
Thanks

Hi Balu, are there issues in the rest Apis supporting all the mime types?
