"A ruleset parameter of type XML is not supported in a JSON payload" exception when using the Business Rules service on Bluemix

Question

I tried to use my XML data with the HTDS REST JSON API and I got the exception:

 "A ruleset parameter of type XML is not supported in a JSON payload"

Answer 1

I was trying to use the XML binding object model, which is not supported in the JSON format. Once I switched to the XML format, the error disappeared.
