Hi I got a work around for the issue with JSON and am sharing for our future reference
I am going through ML 7 documentation and found that we have new search options now and one among them is result-decorator https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev/query-options#id_63172 I used custom code as below (custom result-decorator) xquery version "1.0-ml"; module namespace dec = "http://hmh.com/decorator"; declare function dec:decorator($uri as xs:string) as node()* { let $format := xdmp:get-request-field("format") return ( if (empty($format)) then () else attribute format { $format } ) }; The above code ensures that format will be same as user request and am getting results as expected now.

In ML 6, I used custom transformation on raw document where I am converting XML document into JSON and returning it. But in ML 7, the same code is not working because of REST API Changes. Converted JSON is returning as a string instead of an object. Below is the code snippet in ML 7 Rest API, where it is fetching document mimetype ignoring the format we specify in REST URL. let $uri-mimetype := xdmp:uri-content-type($uri) let $is-unknown := ($uri-mimetype eq "application/x-unknown-content-type") let $format := let $mimetype-format := if ($is-unknown) then () else eput:get-outbound-type-format($uri-mimetype) let $uri-format := if ($is-unknown) then () else if (exists($mimetype-format)) then $mimetype-format else xdmp:uri-format($uri) return if (exists($uri-format)) then $uri-format else eput:get-node-format($result) if I change the above code to use the format I specy in REST URL to "json", everything is working as usual. Can anyone suggest me if it is good to change the logic above to use the format parameter of REST API and emit the JSON? (if format=json then use as is else default logic) Regards, Gnanaprakash Bodireddy Sr. Associate - Projects, Dublin Ireland This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
