Parse XML to JSON like a pro with Total.js Flow

Total.js Flow is the famous Node-red alternative. It’s a friendly, modern, straightforward Visual Programming Interface for Low-code Development accessible through a web browser.

XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. It is similar to HTML in its appearance but, XML is used for data presentation, while HTML is used to define what data is being used. XML is exclusively designed to send and receive data back and forth between clients and servers. Take a look at the following example:
