REST API returns json but with xml wapper

I can access a REST API with my web browser, but the json it returns has an xml wrappper like this :

<string xmlns="http://blah.org/">

Then all good json, then the end of the wrapper.

</string>

When I try to load this into Qlik Sense using the Qlik Rest Connector I can create the connection fine and the <Test Connection> says Test was successful.

But when on the connection I go to Select data it fails to loads anything whatever I try.  I have a feeling that it the xml wrapper causing issues.  Anybody got any suggestions on how to sort this ?

Yup, one can change the request format to json, xml and other things, but the issue is that it is json within an xml wrapper and none of a request formats succeed.
