Pact Foundation

Is it possible to verify xml responses and carry xml payload in http verification with pact. If yes, is it a direct verification like json dsl or there is some other way

Only some languages support XML, see <https://docs.pact.io/roadmap/feature_support>

But it’s like JSON, yes

According to the feature support doc, XML support is there in pactgo, but you said its not there as answer to one of the question in stackoverflow. Could you clarify, please?

And in pact js, the documentation says, you can build xml using xmlbuilder and then convert it to json only. Does it mean , we have to transform the xml response before verifying in producer as well as consumer

apologies, that looks to be a mistake - I’ve corrected it now

If you’re referring to what’s stated <https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/blob/master/docs/xml.md>, it’s probably just poorly worded. It’s XML.

No, it would expect the XML content-type

thanks for drawing attention to the docs correction

In the SO answer, it’s true that under the hood it supports XML, so it’s just about exposing it in the DSL. If you’re interested in conttributing, please let me know and I can give you some pointers
