   Yes, REST resource may return either XML or JSON depending upon the request, you can choose below ways to decide which to return,

   • If an extension has been added to the coming REST request (GET **.json or GET **.xml), use that as the requested format.
   • If an Accept header is set, use that header’s value as the requested format e.g. Accept:application/xml or Accept:application/json
   • If there is a request body (as in the case of a POST), and the Content-Type header specifies JSON or XML, use that.
   • Use a default format if none of the above apply (generally use JSON as your default unless your customers are generally still using XML).
