Hi Eduard,
I would suggest to stick with plain HTTP and build an API for yourself
in XQuery that returns what you need (JSON if you like).

To do this you have a number of choices but I think RESTXQ is a great
fit here.

For FusionStudio we built our API in XQuery using RestXQ and all
communication back and forth is JSON (apart from retrieving/storing
non-XML docs). If you want to see how we did it, the source code and
links to the swagger API docs are available here -
