Consume REST API request body (xml) into SAP BO

Question

How can i Consume REST API request body (xml) into SAP BO (IDT) or Crystal report for enterprise 2016.(not Designer)

NOTE - we don't want to introduce any WEB SERVICE here as a solution .

Brief: The requirement is to parse a XML received as part of request body in API and use that XML as a source to IDT and generate PDF from that using Crystal Reports.

Thanks

I've never done it in the real world, but IDT does support raw XML files as a data source. When creating a new connection, select Generic -> XML Files -> XML File Connector.
