RapidIdentity Administrators' and Users' Guide

Namespaces, namespace prefixes, comments, and processing instructions are all ignored.

Elements with no attributes and no content or whitespace-only content become null.

Elements with no subelements and no attributes become the text, numeric, or boolean value of the element content.

<x>Hello</x>
becomes
"Hello"

Elements with attributes or child elements become a record

Nested element names (sans any namespace prefix) become record fields

<x>
    <y>Hello</y>
</x>
becomes
{
    "y": "Hello"
}

Attributes become record fields prefixed with @

<x>
    <y z="1"/>
</x>
becomes
{
    "y": {
        "@z": 1
     }
}

If an element has attributes and non-empty text only content, then the text content becomes a record field named value

<x>
    <y z="1">Hello</y>
</x>
becomes
{
    "y": {
        "@z": 1,
        "value": "Hello"
     }
}

Multiple elements with the same name at the same level become multiple values of the same field.

<x>
    <y>Hello</y>
    <y>Goodbye</y>
</x>
becomes
{
    "y": ["Hello", "Goodbye"]
}

If an element has mixed content (intermixed text and elements), then the text is ignored

<x>
    <y>Hello</y>
     Something in between
    <y>Goodbye</y>
</x>
becomes
{
    "y": ["Hello", "Goodbye"]
}
