# Rest API XML Output?

 * Is there a way to get the the exact same information from rest api endpoints 
   in XML?
 * Example: `https://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts`
 * I’m not looking for an RSS of latest posts, I want to use the rest api and customize
   what I pull as needed like I would using: `https://demo.wp-api.org/wp-jsonwp/
   v2/posts?_embed=1&tags=XXX` I just need it in XML…
 * Is that possible or will I have to use a json to xml proxy script?

 * You would need a conversion somewhere no matter what. The API only speaks JSON
   by default. Similar to my suggestion in your other topic, you could create a 
   custom route/endpoint that responds in XML.
 * I’m not sure what’s all involved, but it might be possible to make custom RSS
   templates/code that accept additional arguments and reply with appropriate XML
   content. The advantage here would be RSS already speaks XML, but since you have
   to customize a response anyway, I don’t see a big advantage over custom REST 
   routes.
