XML payloads

Accepting and returning XML on a service, or sending it to one, for a counterpart that cannot speak JSON — usually a B2B partner or a system older than the extension in front of it.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

No core answer is documented.

Not covered: CAP's OData and REST adapters are JSON. There is no XML content type to switch on, so the conversion happens before CAP sees the request or after it has answered.

community-only describes who provides it, not neglect: OData V4 dropped XML payloads at the protocol level, so this is a bridge to callers that stayed behind rather than a hole in the runtime.
