While JSON is the most popular format for web data exchange today, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) remains widely used, especially in enterprise and legacy systems. XML responses often require parsing and transformation to make the data usable in modern web applications. This guide will explain how to handle XML responses, covering methods for parsing XML, transforming it into other formats like JSON, and best practices for working with XML in APIs.
What is an XML Response?
An XML response is a structured data format that uses custom tags to define elements, similar to HTML. It represents hierarchical data and allows for more complex structures, making it suitable for certain enterprise applications and industry-specific standards such as SOAP APIs.
To work with XML responses in modern programming environments, you need to parse the XML structure into a format your application can understand. Many programming languages and libraries provide built-in or third-party tools for parsing XML.
