  REST API with XMLNodeList as the data type that contain value,
  REST API throw below error:
  
  CWTBG0536E: A JSON parsing error occurred while parsing the ''

  type com.lombardisoftware.core.XMLNodeList */}'.
  

Local fix

• To resolve the empty nodelist being printer issue, we can make a
   change to XMLUitlities.writeXML():
  
  Made the following changes to XMLUtilitizes.writeXML()
              } else if (aJDomObject instanceof List ||
  aJDomObject instanceof XMLNodeList) {
              List list = null;
              if (aJDomObject instanceof List){
              list = new ArrayList((List) aJDomObject);
              }
              else {
              XMLNodeList nodeList = (XMLNodeList)aJDomObject;
              list = nodeList.getNodeList();
              }
                  if (list.size() > 0) {
                      Object o = list.get(0);
                      if (o instanceof Element) {
                          xo.output((Element) o, out);
                      }
                  }
              }
