# Response Formats Rierino gateway servers support returning responses in following formats, while request body should always be in JSON format: ## JSON By default, all API responses are returned in JSON data format across all gateway servers even when "Accept: application/json" header is not provided. ## XML It is possible to request response in XML format using either of the following: * **Accept Header:** Sending requests with "Accept: application/xml" header. * **Path Extension:** Sending requests with ".xml" extension in url path (e.g. /api/request/rpc/Hello.xml). Returned XML is a direct conversion of JSON response into XML form, wrapped inside a \ element. ## HTML It is possible to request response as a HTML text using either of the following: * **Accept Header:** Sending requests with "Accept: text/html" header. * **Path Extension:** Sending requests with ".html" extension in url path (e.g. /api/request/rpc/HomePage.html). Returned HTML is the "html" (or "result.html" if missing) element of JSON response body, hence called saga endpoint should return produced html contents in such element. ## Plain Text It is possible to request response as a plain text using either of the following: * **Accept Header:** Sending requests with "Accept: text/plain" header. * **Path Extension:** Sending requests with ".txt" extension in url path (e.g. /api/request/rpc/Hello.txt). Returned text is the "plain" (or "result.plain" if missing) element of JSON response body, hence called saga endpoint should return produced text contents in such element. ## CSV It is possible to request response as a comma separated list using either of the following: * **Accept Header:** Sending requests with "Accept: text/csv" header. * **Path Extension:** Sending requests with ".csv" extension in url path (e.g. /api/request/rpc/GetProducts.csv). Returned CSV contents is produced from the "list" (or "result.list" if missing) element of JSON response body, hence called saga endpoint should return a JSON array in such element.
