aem forms submission to external end point

When I submit my aem form to the external endpoint and access data at an external server-side application. It comes as an XML. Is it a normal way of working for it or I did some mistake. I was expecting data as params but I get the whole form as big XML. If wanted to use that data I need to parse the whole XML & get that data extract.

 

{jcr:data=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<afData>
<afUnboundData>
<data>
 all data inside in different tags.
</afData

Yes that is correct

parse that string as org.w3c document and you can extract individual values

    @amitcsknit Yes, you will get the xml. This document will help you understand bound and unbound data

        What is the error 

        is your external end point running in tomcat server?

        are you able to submit attachments to your external end point using postman?

          Thanks all. my problem is solved. I had to parse XML for getting data as suggested by members. For attachments, I have used MultipartHttpServletRequest.
