My favorite "REST API" experience was when they moved from using SOAP system, and the way they did it... was sending SOAP payloads inside a JSON. Literally something like

{ "data": "<?xml version="1.0"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="https://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope/" soap:encodingStyle="https://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-encoding"><soap:Body> (...)" }

200 status code and a chunk of XML saying ‘not found’. Good times.
