The problem it solves

Some of the systems you rely on only accept data in XML, but most modern APIs return JSON by default. Converting between the two formats by hand for every request wastes time and introduces mistakes. Without an automatic conversion step, connecting older systems to newer data sources becomes a manual chore.

Who it fits

Businesses that need to feed data from a modern API into a system that requires XML.

How it works

  1. You trigger a request to pull data from the source API
  2. The system retrieves the data in JSON format
  3. It converts the JSON into properly structured XML
  4. You receive the converted XML file, ready for your other system
What you get

Data ready in the format you need

You get your API data converted into the XML format your systems expect.

What you get

A converted XML file built from the source API's JSON data.

What you need

Access to the source API you're pulling data from.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
