can't create an invoice using JSON API (but XML works OK)

I can create a new invoice using XML V3 QBO API: 

<Invoice xmlns="http://schema.intuit.com/finance/v3">
       <Line>
            <Description>Installation labor</Description>
            <Amount>420.00</Amount>
            <DetailType>SalesItemLineDetail</DetailType>
            <SalesItemLineDetail>
                <ItemRef>1</ItemRef>
            </SalesItemLineDetail>
        </Line>
      <CustomerRef>58</CustomerRef>
</Invoice>

But I can't perform the same opeartion using JSON API. The JSON payload is: 

{
  "Line": [
    {
      "Amount": 100.00,
      "DetailType": "SalesItemLineDetail",
      "SalesItemLineDetail": {
        "ItemRef": {
          "value": "1",
          "name": "Services"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "CustomerRef": {
    "value": "58"
  }
}

The JSON example returns the following error: 

{"Fault":{"Error":[{"Message":"An application error has occurred while processing your request","Detail":"System Failure Error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.","code":"10000"}],"type":"SystemFault"},"time":"2015-11-26T06:09:56.540-08:00"}

I'm performing both operations using Intuit's developer console.

Thanks

Please change the content-type to JSON on API explorer when you test the Invoice json request

I'm not familiar with Intuit's developer console, but in your xml you have an object called "Invoice", which isn't specifically present int the JSON object, perhaps: {"Invoice": {"Line":{...}}}
