XML tools by Workato

XML tools by Workato provides actions to extract values, transform XML structures, and process attributes, enabling seamless recipe integration.

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a widely used format for storing and exchanging data, especially in APIs. Workato recipes typically expose XML data as input fields and datapills, but some workflows require direct interaction with XML content.

How XML tools by Workato works

XML tools by Workato provides four key actions to process XML data:

• The Parse XML document action extracts values from XML and converts them into datapills for use in recipes.

• The Generate XML document from XSD action generates an XML document that follows the structure and data types defined in an XML Schema Definition (XSD) file.

• The Transform XML using XSLT action applies an XSLT script to transform XML into another XML structure, JSON, HTML, plain text, or other formats for compatibility with external systems. You can provide the XSLT inline or select a resource as the stylesheet.

• The Transform XML using XSLT (Deprecated) action is deprecated, doesn't support resources, and requires you to define the XSLT script inline. Use the Transform XML using XSLT action instead.

• The Validate XML document with XSD action checks an XML payload against an XSD to confirm it meets the expected structure, content, and data types.
