Properties for XML Converters

 

Convert to XML is available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite.

The Properties window for XML adapters displays several types of information about the input file and about the XML that will be output by the Convert to XML adapter.

Fields

Properties are organized in the following categories:

  • Input File - read-only information gathered from the input file, and editable properties that affect XML output. These fields affect the file as a whole when it is converted to XML.
  • XML Output URL - editable properties that affect XML output, specifically, high-level XML document properties such as the root element name, namespace, and XML Schema, if any.
  • Region Type (fixed-width, line-oriented, or no-output) - read only information gathered from the input file, and editable properties that affect XML output. These properties affect a contiguous portion of the file when it is converted to XML.
  • Row Element Name - editable properties that affect XML output, specifically, the name that will be used for each row element and the optional pattern that will be used to control which rows are converted to XML.
  • Field Element Name - read only information gathered from the input file, editable properties that affect XML output, and navigational properties. These properties affect only fields in a given region of the file when it is converted to XML.
