Effortlessly Convert XML to JSON with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your data workflows by automatically converting XML payloads to JSON. This n8n workflow enables seamless integration and processing of XML data via a webhook.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to provide a robust solution for converting incoming XML data into a usable JSON format. It leverages n8n's powerful node-based interface to create an automated process triggered by a webhook. Upon receiving a POST request, the workflow intelligently determines the input type (binary file, text, or application/xml) and then processes it. For XML inputs, it performs a transformation to JSON. The output is then returned as a JSON object, with distinct success and error responses for clear communication. This tool is invaluable for developers and operations teams needing to bridge the gap between XML and JSON-based systems.
Key Features
- Webhook Trigger: Accepts POST requests for real-time data ingestion.
- Intelligent Input Handling: Detects binary files, plain text, or direct XML payloads.
- XML to JSON Conversion: Reliably transforms XML structures into JSON objects.
- Standardized Responses: Returns clear JSON responses for both successful conversions and errors.
- Error Handling: Gracefully manages issues and provides informative error messages.
How To Use
- Setup the Webhook: Configure an incoming POST webhook in n8n with the path
tool/xml-to-json. Ensure thebinaryPropertyNameis set todata. - Input Handling: The workflow will automatically detect if the incoming data is a binary file (
File), plain text (Data), or specifically an XML content type (appXML). - XML Processing: If XML is detected, it will be extracted and transformed into JSON using the
XMLnode. - JSON Handling: If the input is already JSON (e.g.,
text/plainwith JSON content), it will be passed through. - Response Generation: A successful conversion will result in a JSON response with
status: "OK"and the transformed data. Errors will trigger a 500 Internal Server Error response with a descriptive error message.
