Description
This example passes various types of ABAP data to the transformation DEMO_ST_FORMAT_OPTION and provides the result for XML and JSON. The transformation applies those formatting options to the ABAP data that match its data type:

The transformation creates JSON-XML to represent both XML and JSON. It should be noted that the formats ticks and ticksOffset only apply to JSON, where they create the JSON representation of UNIX time stamps for OData.
