springboot rest api returning xml response

Question

I have a springboot rest api. It was working fine but I must have added some dependency to it that has caused it to start returning response in Xml instead of JSON. I have other microservices that are returning json response and I have not done anything consciously to return XML. I need the JSON response. can anybody help.

I am including the dependencies that I have in the gradle file if that helps.

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'

I wonder if it is an outdated answer. it is 5 years old. I have 5 other microservices and I have not included jackson-databind dependency in any of them and have not defined the converter that he mentions either. The problem is that when I explicitly include the jackson-databind dependency, I get runtime errors because I have to include gson dependency and that does not work nicely with jackson. — Waqar Sadiq

It is due to the Twilio library removing that library and using HTTP rest call to use Twilio APIs will solve the problem.
