Hi,

I am sending the request into JSON format then response should also come into JSON format, if ID validation fails or not. If it is not coming into JSON format then I don't think its good API design.

Thanks,
Shashi Bala

Thanks for the feedback! As it is designed the format of the response is not dictated by the format of the request, but rather can be determined programmatically by checking the response Content-Type. I'll send this feedback along to the team though.
