Data types

The following is a guide to the Data Types available at Request/Response body level, and those available when defining Connector Fields.

Request/Response Data Types

These data types can be set to define the format of the entire request/response.

Data Type	Description
Unknown	Passes no Content-Type/Accept Header
Xml	Passes a Content-Type/Accept header of `application/xml`
Json	Passes a Content-Type/Accept header of `application/json`
Form	Passes a Content-Type/Accept header of `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
File	For uploading a file using multipart/form-data
PlainText	Passes/returns unformatted text
SimpleFile	For uploading and downloading files from the body
