Hi Stefan,

Using JSON Validator plugin is great. It gives the the yes/no return for my Web API validations.

REST does not say anything about JSON or XML. And APIs in Appian could work with almost any text based protocol.

To check for valid JSON, I recommend the JSON Validator plugin.

And, no, do not use ANY internal function. There are quite some that would be interesting, but any new Appian version has the risk to break your app.

Appian Web APIs are REST based and the request/response is exchanged using JSON not XML. What's the confusion ?
