aem forms submission to external end point

When I submit my aem form to the external endpoint and access data at an external server-side application. It comes as an XML. Is it a normal way of working for it or I did some mistake. I was expecting data as params but I get the whole form as big XML. If wanted to use that data I need to parse the whole XML & get that data extract.

 

{jcr:data=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<afData>
<afUnboundData>
<data>
 all data inside in different tags.
</afData

Yes that is correct

parse that string as org.w3c document and you can extract individual values

Thanks all. my problem is solved. I had to parse XML for getting data as suggested by members. For attachments, I have used MultipartHttpServletRequest.

    What is the error 

    is your external end point running in tomcat server?

    are you able to submit attachments to your external end point using postman?
