JSON to XML

When to use

Use this policy when you want to transform messages from JSON format to XML format

Details

The JSON to XML policy allows for the conversion of messages from the JSON format to XML format. It provides several options to control the conversion process.

This policy is especially beneficial when there is a need to transform messages using XSL (Extensible Stylesheet Language). Once the JSON payload is converted to XML, you can utilize the Apply XSLT policy along with a custom style sheet to perform the desired transformation on the XML data.

By employing the JSON to XML policy followed by the XSL Transform policy, you can effectively convert and manipulate JSON payloads into XML format, enabling powerful transformation capabilities in your API proxy.
