RESTBinaryResult – with the BASE64 encoded result body- How to decode this?

        Hi Team,

        I have a rest service that I am consuming. It has content-type ‘application/xml’. As I see in the simplifier documentation for connector calls, when the content type is ‘application/xml’, then the service will return the response with following 3 keys:

        1)RESTBinaryResult – with the BASE64 encoded result body
        2)RESTTextResult (returns only if it can be displayed as text)
        3)content-Type – mime type of result body

        I am not getting any clue, how can I extract the useful data from it. Do I need to decode this. If yes, please suggest how we can decode this type of response in simplifier.

          Hello,

           

          yes you need to decode the data.

          the best way to do this is using a business object.

          Please find attached an example how to do this.

          // read xml with connector
          var result = Simplifier.Connector.TestXML.getXML().result;
          output.result = result;
          
          //convert RESTTextResult(xml) to javascript object
          
          //convert xml to json
          var RESTTextResultJSON = Simplifier.Util.xml2json(result.RESTTextResult);
          //parse json to javascript object
          var RESTTextResult = JSON.parse(RESTTextResultJSON);
          //output data
          output.RESTTextResult = RESTTextResult;
          
          //convert RESTBinaryResult(base64) to javascript object
          
          //convert base64 to xml
          RESTBinaryResultXML = Simplifier.Util.decodeBase64(result.RESTBinaryResult);
          //convert xml to json
          var RESTBinaryResultJSON = Simplifier.Util.xml2json(RESTBinaryResultXML);
          //parse json to javascript object
          var RESTBinaryResult = JSON.parse(RESTBinaryResultJSON);
          //output data
          output.RESTBinaryResult = RESTBinaryResult;
