Convert xml to json in washington version

[mike56]

Hi,

I am working on a soap integration and the information is retrieved in xml format. I need to convert it to json in order to use the values that are being returned. I am thanking in advance for any help.

Hello @mike56 

To convert XML payload to JSON object use OOTB method 

Method1: toObject() method returns the XML elements as JSON properties

Refer the Servicenow doc to know more.

Method2: 

var jsonObj = gs.xmlToJSON(res_body); // Converting XML into a JSON object

To know more about this, refer to the knowledge article  provided by ServiceNow support.

@mike56 You can try below code to change XML data into JSON if works for you:

// Assuming 'responseXML' is the XML response string from SOAP

var xmlDoc = GlideXMLUtil.parse(responseXML);

// Convert the XML document to a JSON-like JavaScript object

var jsonResult = GlideXMLUtil.toObject(xmlDoc);

// Log the JSON result (for debugging)

gs.info(JSON.stringify(jsonResult));

// Now you can use 'jsonResult' as a JSON object

In the end I have not converted the xml to json because none of the solutions worked.

I read the xml parameters as following:

var gr = new GlideRecord("incident");

gr.get("749dbebd05619ad44d97162086ffc6b0");

gs.log(gr.description);//this is the xml

var xmlDoc=new XMLDocument2();

xmlDoc.parseXML(gr.description);//this is the xml

var ActNumNew=xmlDoc.getNodeText("//ActNumNew");

gs.log(ActNumNew);
