# Responses

The XACML-JSON PDP API converts batch decision responses to a XACML-JSON response.

XACML-JSON responses include decisions, such as `Permit` or `Deny`, and any obligations or advice that matched during policy processing.

|   |                                                                          |
| - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|   | The Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) must apply any obligations or advice. |

The following table shows the mapping from a decision response to a XACML-JSON response.

| Parent (JSON Path)                 | Field (JSON Path)                                            | PingAuthorize Trust Framework type |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
| `$.Response[*]`                    | `$.Decision`                                                 | Decision                           |
| `$.Response[].​Obligations[]`      | ` `` `                                                       | Advice (obligatory)                |
|                                    | `$.Id`                                                       | Advice code                        |
|                                    | `$.AttributeAssigments[?(@.AttributeId == "payload")].Value` | Advice payload                     |
| `$.Response[].​AssociatedAdvice[]` |                                                              | Advice (non-obligatory)            |
|                                    | `$.Id`                                                       | Advice code                        |
|                                    | `$.AttributeAssigments[?(@.AttributeId == "payload")].Value` | Advice payload                     |

The following example is an appropriate response based on the request in [Requests](paz_xacml_json_decision_requests.html).

```json
{
  "Response": [{
    "Decision": "Permit",
    "Obligations": [{
      "Id": "obligation-id",
      "AttributeAssignments": [{
        "AttributeId": "payload",
        "Value": "payload-value"
      }]
    }],
    "AssociatedAdvice": [{
      "Id": "advice-id",
      "AttributeAssignments": [{
        "AttributeId": "payload",
        "Value": "payload-value"
      }]
    }]
  }]
}
```

In this example, it is up to the application server to handle the obligations and advice in the response.
