Use XML commands when a service sends or expects XML documents. They work with the same variable controls as other commands.
Add Parse XML, supply the XML text and choose a mode. SIMPLE is convenient when you need fields from a straightforward document. ORDERED preserves the order of elements and mixed text when that order matters.
Choose Return as, then use the returned value in later commands. Check that the XML matches your expected structure before using fields from an external service.
Add Generate XML and supply the value to turn into XML. Use the same mode as the parsed structure you are working with. The command returns XML text, which you can send as a request body with the appropriate XML content type.
Parsing and generating documents is intended for exchanging data. It does not guarantee that the output text is identical to the original document's spacing, comments or formatting.
Add Validate XML to check whether text is a well-formed XML document before processing it. Its result contains valid and, when available, a helpful message. Use a condition to handle invalid input rather than continuing with missing data.
This checks document structure, not whether the document follows a particular industry schema or business rule. Add your own checks for required fields and accepted values.
Documents are bounded in size and complexity. External references and document-type declarations are rejected rather than fetched. If a partner supplies an unsupported document, ask for a plain data document without external dependencies. Do not use these commands to load files or network resources named inside XML.

A cache is temporary. Keep permanent records in your database and make sure the workflow can obtain the original...
