Issue
When generating a Swagger Descriptor for REST-based Services using RESTUnited.com and the accept header on the request is not text/plain, the response from the Rest API may return the results as a string value instead of the expected Json. This will cause the SmartObject of the rest service to present an error.

Resolution
You need to change the accept header on the request to text/plain. This will return the results of the API as the expected json.
Additional Information
- This was discovered in K2 Five (5.3).
- This issue occurred only on Get methods from the swagger that had an array/s.
