Hi,
I am working on some REST API code and I'm struggling with POSTing of JSON.
What I want to achieve is to have the function receive an XDM map
(from JSON using fn:parse-json). I also want to output from such a map
(in effect roundtripping some JSON).
The test POST body I'm using is:
{"foo": "bar"}
When reading the docs I'm led to believe that this should achieve it:
declare %rest:POST("{$body}") %rest:path("/json")
%rest:consumes("application/json;lax=yes;format=map")
%rest:produces("application/json;format=map")
function api:json($body)
{
$body
};
No matter what I do I always get this as response:
<json type="object">
<foo>bar</foo>
</json>
Somehow I cannot force the function to receive a map(*) as $body
argument. When I wrap $body in a trace() I see that it gets XML and
not a map(*).
What am I missing? Or do I really have to go JSON > XML > map {....}?
