Parse

The Parse node converts data between different formats. It can parse raw text into structured data (JSON, XML, CSV) and convert between these formats. This is essential when working with APIs, file-based integrations, and systems that use different data formats.

Actions

Action	Description
parse:jsonToXml	Convert a JSON object to XML
parse:xmlToJson	Convert XML to a JSON object
parse:csvToJson	Parse CSV text into a JSON array
parse:jsonToCsv	Convert a JSON array to CSV text
parse:yamlToJson	Convert YAML to JSON
parse:jsonToYaml	Convert JSON to YAML
parse:parseJson	Parse a JSON string into an object
parse:parseXml	Parse an XML string into a structured object
parse:stringify	Convert an object to a JSON string

---

parse:jsonToXml

Converts a JSON object into an XML document string.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
input	object/string	Yes	JSON object or variable reference

parse:parseJson

Parses a JSON string into a usable object.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
input	string	Yes	JSON string to parse

parse:parseXml

Parses an XML string into a structured object for field-level access.

Parameters
