As part of the series of product update videos on AgilePoint NX v7.0 release, the next one I would like to share is about the Read JSON and Read XML activities.
At times the external systems which you work with return, raw XML or JSON which you want to be mapped back to your process or form schema. These activities provide you a way of doing the mapping of data from JSON or XML file back to your schema.
Note: Please note that one of my colleague had helped record this video when this feature was in beta version so some of the labels and icons might have changed since then but the general concept of configuring these activities remains the same. Also These activities were renamed to Read XML and Read JSON instead of the JSON and XML Loader which was naming convention used at time of recording the video. At the time of posting, this feature is already in GA.
Great post, thanks!
OK … one more step. And if I want to do the reverse process? the possibility of creating json / xml files from values entered in forms or process variables would allow the platform to have a high interoperability value with external systems. What about that?
Sorry for late reply. Please refer to “Create XML Payload” activity under utilities. It has been there for a while. There is no standalone activity for JSON generator but mostly if you generate JSON, you might use it REST activity which already has a way of creating JSON Payload.
