Scoped application alternative to GlideRecordXMLSerializer()

[ryanlitwiller]

Looking for an alternative to GlideRecordXMLSerializer() for a scoped application. Looking to get the entire XML of the glide record.

You can use

var json = new global.JSON().encode(object);

to encode object to JSON.

Please check below blog for additional details

The problem is I don't have an object I have a glide record and I'm looking to get all the xml for that record to pass to another application (external web service).

This GQL solution seem like a lot of overhead, do you have any additional details about this solution?

[sachin_namjoshi]

Why don't you glide the record and get all required field data for sending to external WSDL?

Try this;

Create a script include under the global application that is accessible from all application scopes and paste this in as the script.

var ScopedXmlSerializer = Class.create();
ScopedXmlSerializer.prototype = {
initialize: function() {
},
serialize:function(currentRecord)
{
var xmlSerializer = new GlideRecordXMLSerializer();
return xmlSerializer.serialize(currentRecord);
},
type: 'ScopedXmlSerializer'
};

I tested in a background script and selected run script in scope <some scope that isn't global> with the following:

var current = new GlideRecord("sys_user");
current.setLimit(1);
current.query();
current.next();

var xml = new global.ScopedXmlSerializer();
var xmlString = xml.serialize(current);
gs.info(xmlString.toString());
