Have JIRA Rest return XML

[Mikkel Kragelund Nielsen]

Hey

Is it possible to have the JIRA REST API return XML instead of josn?

Hi Mikkel,

Currently, it's not possible to retrieve XML data instead of JSON. There's an explanation on the reasons at https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+REST+API+Version+2+Tutorial#JIRARESTAPIVersion2Tutorial-IntroductiontoJIRA'sRESTAPI

Hello,

Since this is a older post, could you please let me know if currently it is possible to retrieve JIRA Rest API response in XML format?

I have the same question. Can I use content-type header related to XML?
