Parse field as XML string
Mapping XML Attributes and Elements
To clarify the distinction between XML attributes and elements in the message mapper, follow these conventions:
- XML Attributes: Prefix the key name with an @ (at) sign.
- XML Elements: Key names are defined without an @ (at) sign.
- XML Elements with Text Content: If an XML element has both attributes and a text value, use a subkey named "TEXT_CONTENT" to indicate the text value.
