Adapter requests and responses for the REST adapter

This section describes the requests and responses for the REST adapter.

When you use a context item as an input for an adapter request, you must enclose the adapter request in the<request-data> elements. However, when you create a static request, <request-data> is not required and the adapter request starts with the <restadapterrequest> element. 

Adapter requests for the REST adapter are in the JSON format. You specify the adapter name, header, and other parameters, which are converted to a JSON format. By default, the adapter response is in a JSON format.
