DocuSign connect updates with REST API

Question

I have been using DocuSign SOAP based API service to parse the XML that DocuSign posts for each recipient/envelope status updates. Within .net web application, here is how I am parsing the XML.

Using sr As New StreamReader(FileName) Dim xml As String = sr.ReadToEnd()

            Dim reader As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(xml))
            Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(GetType(DocuSignServ.DocuSignEnvelopeInformation), "http://www.docusign.net/API/3.0")
            Dim envelopeInfo As DocuSignEnvelopeInformation = TryCast(serializer.Deserialize(reader), DocuSignEnvelopeInformation)                
        End Using

I would like to know if I can parse the XML with RESTful API here. I could not find a way to convert XML to an object based upon RESTful API. I tried something like this,

Using sr As New StreamReader(FileName) Dim xml As String = sr.ReadToEnd()

            Dim reader As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(xml))
            Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(GetType(DocuSign.eSign.Model.EnvelopesInformation), "http://www.docusign.net/API/3.0")
            Dim envelopeInfo As DocuSign.eSign.Model.EnvelopesInformation = TryCast(serializer.Deserialize(reader), DocuSign.eSign.Model.EnvelopesInformation)              
        End Using

I am not able to convert the XML to an envelope object here.

Please advise,

Thanks,

Minal

No, the RESTful API works on different data model and you cannot parse DocuSign Connect XML with RESTful API data model.
