Deserialize XML

AutomatR.DeafultActivities.API.DeserializeXML

The "Deserialize XML" activity in AutomatR is designed to deserialize an XML string into an XDocument object. This activity is useful for handling and processing XML data within automation workflows.

Properties

Name	Description
Input
XML	Specifies the XML string that needs to be deserialized. This input is required for the activity to function correctly. Provide a string or string variable containing the XML data to be deserialized.
Optional
Delay	Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait before executing the "Deserialize XML" activity. This optional delay can be used to manage synchronization or pacing issues. Integer variables containing the delay duration (e.g., 5 for 5 seconds).
Output
XML Document	Outputs the deserialized XML as an XDocument variable. This variable can be used for further processing of the XML data within the workflow. Variables of type XDocument to store the deserialized XML.

How to use:

1. Drag and drop the "Deserialize XML" activity onto the workflow.
2. Configure the properties by specifying the XML string to be deserialized.
3. Optionally, configure the delay to control the timing of the activity.
4. Execute the workflow to deserialize the specified XML string.

Example: Consider an example where the "Deserialize XML" activity is used to parse an XML string representing configuration data:

Deserialize XML:
  XML: "<configuration><setting name='MaxConnections'>10</setting><setting name='Timeout'>30</setting></configuration>"
  Delay: 3
  XML Document: deserializedXml

In this example, the activity deserializes the provided XML string after a delay of 3 seconds. The deserialized XML document is stored in the variable deserializedXml for further use in the workflow.
