This n8n workflow is designed to process XML data received via a webhook, convert it to JSON, and send appropriate responses or error notifications. It is useful in scenarios where XML payloads need to be systematically transformed into JSON for further processing or integration.
The workflow begins with a webhook that accepts POST requests with data in various formats. The Switch node then evaluates the content type to determine the processing route: if the payload is XML, it is sent to the XML node for parsing; if it is plain text or already JSON, it bypasses the conversion.
If the data is XML, the Extract From File node extracts the XML content, which is then converted to JSON via the XML node. If successful, the JSON data is formatted and sent back as a ‘OK’ response, with the JSON embedded in the reply.
In case of errors—such as faulty XML conversion—the workflow captures the error, responds with an error message, and posts a notification to a Slack channel for alerts. Numerous nodes manage different scenarios, ensuring robust and clear communication during data processing.
This workflow is ideal for applications such as API data ingestion, XML data conversion services, or integration points where XML data needs to be validated and transformed into a usable JSON format.
