Hi Jonathan,

Have you tried setting the media-type or method parameters to application/json instead of only the produces parameter, as explained here [1].

Using RESTXQ in an application for the first time.  I expected this function to have the MIME type application/json:

declare
  %rest:path("/api/abbott-smith/index")
  %rest:GET
  %rest:produces("application/json")
  function as:index()
{
  array { $as:abbott-smith/*:entry ! @lemma ! string() }
  ! serialize(., map {'method' : 'json'})
};

But both POSTMAN and WADL give me application/xml as the mime type:

<wadl:resource path="/api/abbott-smith/index">
  <wadl:method name="GET">
    <wadl:request/>
    <wadl:response>
    <wadl:representation mediaType="application/xml"/>
    </wadl:response>
  </wadl:method>
</wadl:resource>


What am I doing wrong?
