REST Service Response XML vs. JSON
Hi,
I'm new to Pega 7.2. I need to consume a REST service for a certain case. This service can return response as XML format or as JSON format.
What are the pros and cons in Pega for each of these response types? What is recommended?
Thanks!

Though the choice of XML or JSON largly depends on the requirement, in a general sense, JSON is recommended.
- XML is heavy wieight and consumes more network traffic, where as the JSON is light weight.
- XML is stictly typed. That means it follows and adheres it XSD document, whereas JSON is not so restrictive
- JSON supports more protocols like HTTP,REST..
- As far as security is concerned, XML is more secure.

Hello,
I completely agree with Praveen, its purely depends on the requirement. Most of the cases preferable is JSON.

Hi Dov,
In general JSON is "newer" and more dynamic.
