When calling a process model exposed as a web service, does the message body have to be XML? Will it work with a JSON string or a dictionary? If so what format should it take?
Working example of python command attached for reference.

Models exposed as a WS must use XML. As of 16.2 Web APIs can be used to start processes using JSON, XML or any other plain text. It may also be possible to completely avoid using a process if all it does it execute one of the available smart services.

Thanks James, unfortunately I am still running 7.9 local so I will have to wait for the migration to 16.x. Even so the documentation is spot on and just the sort of feature I am looking for.
