HTTP: XML: How to Parse Data as a Number (Integer), and Other Data Types

Sometimes, we need to parse XML data into types other than a string, such as when we need to sum values together to find a total number.

Depending on your action (examples: HTTP Request, or Parse XML Document), you will have to change either your Sample document or Response body example. Simply add type="{desired type}" to the necessary field.

For example:  

<number>123</number>

 might become

<number type="integer">123</number>

Workato currently supports parsing XML by integer, boolean, datetime, and date.
