The XML-to-JSON policy converts a request or response body from XML to JSON. The syntax of the policy is as follows:

The kind attribute takes two values:

• javascript-friendly: The converted JSON has a form friendly to JavaScript developers
• direct: The converted JSON reflects the original XML document's structure

The apply attribute takes two values:

• always: This always converts the XML request to JSON
•  content-type-xml: This converts the XML request only if the Content-Type header indicates the presence of XML

The consider-accept-header attribute takes two values:

• true: This applies conversion if XML is requested in the request accept header
• false: This always applies conversion

When you test the GetProducts API method, we will get a response message as follows:
