[NETCONF-345] error-info format is not clear, throws up xml snippet

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 11:51:01 +0000

The restconf response for RPC is ambiguous.

Here is a sample response I see.

{
"errors": {
"error": [

{ "error-type": "application", "error-tag": "data-missing", "error-message": "tp id given is not valid", "error-info": "<severity>error</severity>" }

]
}
}

This is JSON response and I see error-info in XML format. Shouldnt this be in JSON format?

when I add header “Accept: application/xml”, the angular brackets are html encoded. Not sure if this is expected behavior.

<errors xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-restconf">
<error>
<error-type>application</error-type>
<error-tag>data-missing</error-tag>
<error-message>tp id given is not valid</error-message>
<error-info><severity>error</severity></error-info>
</error>
</errors>

I see something is not right here. Please suggest and if it is a valid bug, please do the needful.
