We have had success testing Restful APIs implemented in XML and JSON using the standard HTTP Request sampler. At times it was tricky, but once the headers and encoding are mapped out we really have not had a problem.
I found that sometimes depending on the implementation of course with JSON I had to leave the name null and place a value or input a name and leave the value null. Other times we had to play around to get the encoding correct. Another thing I found helpful was using the POSTER plug in for Firefox. If we could get the request to work in POSTER we could find a way in JMeter. My opinion is that it can be done without a new sampler.
