TL;DR

  • 3 tools: XML-to-JSON, JSON-to-YAML, YAML-to-JSON (2 points each)
  • Chain tools to convert between any format combination
  • Built-in validation ensures output is correctly formatted
  • Handle complex nested structures and arrays
  • Perfect for config file migrations and API integrations
  • Automate with n8n/Make for continuous conversion pipelines

The Multi-Format Challenge

Modern systems use different data formats: APIs prefer JSON, configs use YAML, legacy systems output XML. Converting between formats manually is error-prone. AppHighway's conversion tools handle all transformations automatically.

Real-World Use Cases

1. Config File Migration

Migrate from XML configs to YAML for Kubernetes/Docker

Legacy XML configs → JSON → YAML → Deploy to K8s

2. API Response Transformation

Convert XML SOAP responses to JSON for REST APIs

SOAP XML → JSON → Modern REST API consumption

3. Multi-System Integration

Bridge systems that use different data formats

System A (XML) → JSON → System B (YAML)
