This method converts XML documents to json strings.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Data | Xml, Context Store Reference | The xml document (context store reference) is to be converted to json. |
| OmitRootElement | Boolean | If set to true the topmost element in the json will not be included in the output json. That is the “ROOT” element in the example below. |
| OmitMainElement | Boolean | If set to true the element right under the json root element will not be included in the output json. That is the “AllDataTypes” element in the example below. This is useful if you need to turn all data structure items into a json array. |
Example
source xml might look like this
<ROOT>
<AllDataTypes TagInput="0"
RecordCreatedBy="abce2f49-6693-4525-87a4-65d8687413fb"
Id="c8fc9865-b7c0-4f61-a9aa-21ce9be57c14"
RecordCreated="2025-09-12T00:00:00+02:00"
Selected="false"
Boolean1="true"
Integer1="1543"
Long1="1543"
Currency1="1543.0000"
Text1="txt1553"
Date1="2025-09-12T00:00:00+02:00"
Text2="txt1563">
</AllDataTypes>
<AllDataTypes TagInput="0"
RecordCreatedBy="abce2f49-6693-4525-87a4-65d8687413fb"
Id="b5aef38c-7d95-4b04-b420-21cff720a758"
RecordCreated="2021-06-24T00:00:00+02:00"
Selected="false"
Boolean1="true"
Integer1="2"
Long1="2"
Currency1="2.0000"
Text1="txt12"
Date1="2021-06-24T00:00:00+02:00"
Text2="txt22">
</AllDataTypes>
<AllDataTypes TagInput="0"
RecordCreatedBy="abce2f49-6693-4525-87a4-65d8687413fb"
Id="077feec5-b0eb-4152-aa4b-21f99d641939"
RecordCreated="2024-01-25T00:00:00+01:00"
Selected="false"
Boolean1="true"
Integer1="947"
Long1="947"
Currency1="947.0000"
Text1="txt957"
Date1="2024-01-25T00:00:00+01:00"
Text2="txt967">
</AllDataTypes>
</ROOT>
the output with both OmitRootElement and OmitMainElement set to false would then be
