Thanks in advance.

@Ankur Bawiskar ,

I tried Scripted REST API with XML Response but not working because I am getting this error "

ReferenceError: \"XMLHelper\" is not defined." as I am working in scoped application.

Can you please help is there any alternative for XMLHelper for scoped application.

Thanks,

@Munimohan 

there is no alternative

one workaround you can have is this

1) create a script include in global scope and accessible from all application scopes

2) pass your request xml to that script include function

3) there you can use XMLHelper

if you just want to parse the request XML in scripted rest api then you can use XMLDocument2 in scoped application

XMLDocument2

@Ankur Bawiskar ,

Thanks for quick response!!!

the solution provided by helpful but I tried with below solution it worked.

Solution:

Created a  function it accepts in put as JSON object and return XML response. and function code find below:

function toXMLString(o, leaveBlanks) {
var toXml = function(v, name, ind) {
if (typeof(v) == "function")
return "";

var xml = "";
if (v instanceof Array) {
for (var i = 0, n = v.length; i < n; i++)
xml += ind + toXml(v[i], name, ind + "\t") + "\n";
} else if (typeof(v) == "object") {
var hasChild = false;
xml += ind + "<" + name;
for (var m in v) {
if (m.charAt(0) == "@")
xml += " " + m.substr(1) + "=\"" + v[m].toString() + "\"";
else
hasChild = true;
}
xml += hasChild ? ">" : "/>";
if (hasChild) {
for (var m in v) {
if (m == "#text")
xml += v[m];
else if (m == "#cdata")
xml += "<![CDATA[" + v[m] + "]]>";
else if (m.charAt(0) != "@")
xml += toXml(v[m], m, ind + "\t");
}
xml += (xml.charAt(xml.length - 1) == "\n" ? ind : "") + "</" + name + ">";
}
} else {
xml += ind + "<" + name + ">" + v.toString() + "</" + name + ">";
}
return xml;
};

xml = "";
for (var m in o)
xml += toXml(o[m], m, "");

if (leaveBlanks)
return xml;

return xml.replace(/\t|\n/g, "");

}

Thanks,
