Dealing with Incoming XML WebRequests

[Silas Forkel]

Dear Community,

for a new jira integration, we need to deal with incoming webrequests/ REST API Requests in xml format.

I've already done it several times with JSON formatted Requests, but never in xml.

How can i access specific values from this request and - after another process - response to this request in another xml formatted webrequest?

Use Case: A customers internal software will send a xml formatted Web Request to our jira- webhook- url (endpoint) with specific data, we need to continue with our work. After we analyzed and so this data, we need to send them a response with other data to their endpoint. Because their software can only process xml, this is how we have to do it.

PS: there might also be base64 encoded pdf files in their request, that we have to access in Jira.

I'm really happy to from anybody who can help me!
Best Regards

Silas
