Question

The response from RESTful API differs when you request response in format JSON instead of XML.

Example :
* Requesting http://<server>:<jboss-port>/rest-dlf/record/abc010000123456/items/?view=full with Request-Header " Accept: text/xml;" " will give back correct z30-barcode 000123456789 (including leading zeroes).
* Requesting http://<server>:<jboss-port>/rest-dlf/record/abc010000123456/items/?view=full with Request-Header "Accept: application/json" will give back wrong z30-barcode 123456789 (without leading zeroes).

Is JSON a supported format in RESTful API?

Answer

RESTful API supports XML only.
Other formats (like JSON) are not supported.
