Media types and operations

Media types

You can define media types in request and response definitions when you connect to the REST endpoint.

In Swagger, you can specify the following media types in request and response definitions to process data:

application/xml

application/json

application/x-www-form-urlencoded

JSON subtype. For example:

application/hal+
json

JSON custom type. For example:

application/vnd.ds.abc.v1+
json

Extended JSON mime type. For example:

application/vnd.ds.abc.v1+json;version=q1

text/xml

If a swagger definition contains multiple mime types in consumes and produces attribute values, the REST V2 Connector considers the payload to be of first mime type in the list.

In OpenAPI, you can specify the following media types in request and response definitions to process data:

application/xml

application/json

Consider the following guidelines when you define media types in OpenAPI:

The default request and response media type for all operations is

application/json

media type is not available for an operation, the task considers

application/xml

as the request and response media type.

application/json

application/xml

media type is not available for an operation, the request message template displays a static field named Request_Port and the field mapping displays a static field named Response_Port.
