Introduction
In a previous blog in our Tapestry series we showed that Tapestry can be used as an API. While we would advice to do this only for simple cases, it could be a good solution if you wanted to offer Web API for your existing Tapestry application. If you were interested in a fully-fledged Web API with all the bells and whistles it would probably be better to use a separate framework.
In a previous blog we build an API returning JSON. This raises the question: is it also possible to return XML? The answer turns out to be yes!
In this blog we will show how to do so.
