Hi Robert,
I haven’t run your code. I assume that your RESTXQ code will already give you an XML representation of your JSON data, because, by default, the 'direct' format will be applied [1,2].
The expression…
"Request body: " || $body
…will atomize your body and return it as string. Just remove the string concatenation and return $body, then it will be more obvious what’s going on.
Cheers, Christian

module namespace hwxdocs = "urn:com:hortonworks:docs"; declare %rest:POST("{$body}") %rest:path("hello/json") %rest:consumes("application/json") %output:media-type("application/json") function hwxdocs:hello2( $body ) { "Request body: " || $body };
I send data with this command:
curl -iL -X POST \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --data-binary '{"foo":{"bar":"baz"}}' \ http://localhost:8984/hello/json
I expect to get
Request body: {"foo":{"bar":"baz"}}
(I’m assuming I can pass '{"foo":{"bar":"baz”}}’ to json:parse to convert to a BaseX XML that can be stored in the database.) However, instead, I get
Request body: baz
Can someone tell me what my error is?
Thank you, Robert
