HTTP Response body type in RAML for an API












0














I am creating an API with Mule Anypoint Design center, where I receive data with type text/plain from other endpoints. Can I just use text/plain in below raml code instead of application/json?



Why am I asking this?



My endpoint is AWS SNS and it sends, a HTTP header, Content-Type, with value "text/plain" only and the apikit router in studio validates whether the content-type is "whatever specified in RAML spec(application/json)". Ofcourse I can disable validations, but I have other things to validate which depends on it.



responses: 
201:
body:
application/json:
example: {"msg" : "Flight inserted successfully"}

          Yes you can change it to text/plain in RAML if needed. But if you want your response to be json, you'd be better off transforming your payload and overwriting the Content-type header in Mule/Anypoint design center.

          • But in design-center, we have just 4 options application/json, application/xml, form type and multipart data. Will text/plain work. If yes, please point to a resource of the kind.
