XML Generation via XSD

The first example depicts a simple pipeline to generate order data XML directly with the XML Generator Snap.



We provide the sample XSD as defined below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="shiporder">
  <xs:complexType>
 <xs:sequence>
   <xs:element name="orderperson" type="xs:string"/>
   <xs:element name="shipto">
     <xs:complexType>
       <xs:sequence>
         <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string"/>
         <xs:element name="address" type="xs:string"/>
         <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
         <xs:element name="country" type="xs:string"/>
       </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>
   <xs:element name="item" maxOccurs="unbounded">
     <xs:complexType>
       <xs:sequence>
         <xs:element name="title" type="xs:string"/>
         <xs:element name="note" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
         <xs:element name="quantity" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
         <xs:element name="price" type="xs:decimal"/>
       </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>
 </xs:sequence>
 <xs:attribute name="orderid" type="xs:string" use="required"/>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

We then suggest the XML root element, which returns {}shiporder. Finally we click on Edit XML, which will automatically trigger the XML template generation based off the XSD, see below.



Now we could replace the variables with our own values to generate the XML on the output view or move on to the next example.

*The execution of the Snap above will create an XML attribute on the output view which provides the serialized XML content as a string.

To successfully reuse pipelines:
  1. Download and import the pipeline in to the SnapLogic Platform.
  2. Configure Snap accounts, as applicable.
  3. Provide pipeline parameters, as applicable.
