XML tools by Workato - Parse XML document action
The Parse XML document action converts an XML document into structured output for use in subsequent recipe steps. Provide a representative sample to build the output fields, or enable streaming to process large XML documents.
Input
| Input field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable streaming? | Select Yes to process XML payloads up to 200 MB. Workato writes the parsed JSON to file storage and returns it as a reference. Leave the default of No to process payloads up to 10 MB and return the output as datapills. Refer to Handle large XML documents for more information. |
| Sample XML document | Provide a representative XML sample. Workato uses this sample to build the action's output fields. |
| XML document | Provide the XML data to parse. Workato extracts values and generates datapills for use in subsequent recipe steps. |
Output
When you set Enable streaming? to No, the parsed XML data appears as a structured datatree that Workato builds from the Sample XML document.
When you set Enable streaming? to Yes, Workato writes the parsed JSON to file storage and returns it as a reference instead of a datatree.
Integrate XML into recipes
The Parse XML document action extracts structured data from XML, but some workflows require additional setup to ingest XML from external systems. Workato provides multiple ways to receive and process XML beyond parsing.
