{% hint style="info" %}
The `/transaction` (Peppol messages) all support both `XML` and `JSON`, both as request and response data!
{% endhint %}

To `POST` (create) any message in `XML` format you'll provide a header as:

<pre><code><strong>POST
</strong><strong>content-type: application/xml
</strong></code></pre>

Or for `POST`'ing JSON, you'd either omit the header, as JSON is the default, or provide:

```
POST
content-type: application/json
```

{% hint style="danger" %}
All Query String Parameters are case-sensitive and shall be added as stated in each individual API reference, e.g. `documentId` must be sent with a capital `I` in `Id`
{% endhint %}

For `GET`'ing data you'll use the `accept` header instead:

```
GET (XML)
accept: application/xml

GET (JSON)
accept: application/json
```
