JSON MIME Type

The MIME media type for JSON text is as follows:

application/json

Strictly speaking, not all JSON values are valid for this MIME type. It might be that implementers of services that accept or return JSON may be more liberal and accept and return JSON values. Kofax RPA has chosen to follow this more liberal approach to JSON. To that end, a JSON variable may contain a JSON value and the JSON view can display that value.

When data is loaded from a URL and the MIME-type is application/json, the loaded JSON is shown in the JSON Page View. If this is not the case, you can specify that the data represents JSON. To do this, on the Load Page step, set the Page Content type to JSON. You can also use this method when the data is not loaded from a source where a MIME-type is available, such as in Create Page step action.
