Transform XML into JSON
Use the Datakit plugin to transform XML request bodies into JSON.
This example contains the following nodes:
- The node
XML_JSONconverts the incoming XML request body into JSON format. - The node
EXITsends the produced JSON data back directly as the response body, without proxying it upstream.
Add this section to your kong.yaml configuration file:
