HI,

I am trying to decode a SOAP message and bring the data back to a Power App. I have managed to get the data from the webservice, and decoded the answer with decodeBase64. But I think I need to get rid of some unneccessary data, and I don't know how to do this.

The actual result look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><result>
<row index="1">
<NAMN index="0">Innovatum Portfolio AB</NAMN>
<ORGNR index="0">556546-1992</ORGNR>
</row>
<row index="2">
<NAMN index="0">Innovatum AB</NAMN>
<ORGNR index="0">556546-2008</ORGNR>
</row>
<row index="3">
<NAMN index="0">Innovatum Science Center AB</NAMN>
<ORGNR index="0">556556-7301</ORGNR>
</row>
<row index="4">
<NAMN index="0">Innovatum Progress AB</NAMN>
<ORGNR index="0">556887-6592</ORGNR>
</row>
<row index="5">
<NAMN index="0">Stiftelsen Innovatum</NAMN>
<ORGNR index="0">863001-1057</ORGNR>
</row>
</result>

What I want is just the NAMN and ORGNR for each row. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: XML to JSON Conversion

Hi @LennartWalldén,

If you want JSON format we can use the json function. We probably don't need xpath in that case.

In the From field of the Select action I am using this expression

json(xml(outputs('Compose')))['result']['row']

In the Map field I am using the following expression for the value fields:

item()?['NAMN']['#text']
item()?['ORGNR']['#text']

That should give you an output format like below. Hopefully that is what you are looking for?

Re: XML to JSON Conversion

Hi @Expiscornovus,

Thanks for the reply.
Looks good, but I also would like to get rid of all the indexes and only keep the value. Is that possible?

I would like the result as an array in JSON format so I can read it back to my PowerApp via an array variable.

Re: XML to JSON Conversion

Hi @LennartWalldén,

You could use an xpath function for that. In what format do you want the results?

Below is an example of how you could use xpath.

xpath(xml(outputs('Compose')), '/result/row/NAMN | /result/row/ORGNR')

With this setup the result will look like below.
