Format to cXML

Converts your data into a cXML document, with the matching cXML document type declaration.

Turns your data into a cXML document. cXML is the XML format used to exchange purchasing messages such as orders, invoices, and catalogs between business systems. It works like the standard XML formatter but also adds the correct cXML document type declaration at the top of the document, so the receiving system knows exactly which kind of cXML message it is reading.

Fields

Sample data

Field	Value
Root element name	empty (uses cXML)
Document Type Definition (DTD)	Basic cXML document
DTD version	empty (uses 1.2.014)
Disable cData wrapping	off

Input:

{
    "Header": {
        "From": {
            "Credential": { "Identity": "AcmeSupplier" }
        }
    }
}

Output (a single text value; \n marks the line breaks):

"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM \"http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd\">\n<cXML><Header><From><Credential><Identity>AcmeSupplier</Identity></Credential></From></Header></cXML>\n"

Written out, the cXML document reads:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cxml.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd">
<cXML>
  <Header>
    <From>
      <Credential>
        <Identity>AcmeSupplier</Identity>
      </Credential>
    </From>
  </Header>
</cXML>

A value that contains markup, such as a comment of Deliver <b>before 10:00</b> & call on arrival, is written as <Comments><![CDATA[Deliver <b>before 10:00</b> & call on arrival]]></Comments> with the default settings. With Disable cData wrapping on, the same value becomes <Comments>Deliver &lt;b&gt;before 10:00&lt;/b&gt; &amp; call on arrival</Comments>.
