The first thing I would look at is the request headers. Set it something similar to "Accept=application/json"

If one is not set, it may default to XML.

Hello Jarod,

I did try setting these in my script but didnt help

request.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");

  request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/json');

I figured this out from docs.servicenow.com,

used var writer = response.getStreamWriter() and built the object and converted in the end using global.JSON.stringify(responseObj)

Thanks,
