Hey, Could this be what you are looking for? > [@How to map with Serialize: XML](https://forum.alumio.com/t/how-to-map-with-serialize-xml/356): > > Table of contents Use case 1 Use case 2 Use Case 1 Basically, Alumio uses the JSON data type in every transformer. While some systems sometimes only accept XML, you can convert the JSON data into XML by using the Value Mapper transformer and the Serialize: XML mapper. Guide 1. Set attributes to an element Please have a look at the below XML data. \ \ \this is content\ \ … ---

Oh are you trying to get from XML to JSON? Then you’d need to deserialize. > [@How to map with Deserialize](https://forum.alumio.com/t/how-to-map-with-deserialize/266): > > Table Of Contents Use case Guide Video guide Use case Deserialization of data can be defined as the process of transforming a string into a data object of a distinct type. The following data types are supported by the Alumio Deserialize mapper- JSON, NDJSON, XML, cXML, YAML or encode URL. Note: When using Compressed Deserializer, the following file formats are supported in Alumio: .tar.gz, .gz, zip. For instance, let’s imagine a scenario where XML data is retrieved as a string and you have t… ---

Hi @abubakar Is “fashionmaster” the actual xmlns for the DataTable root element? ![image](https://alumio-forum.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/1X/cd48a0105f0c5b1b4175bcbf761dd4190cef46e3.png) An xmlns (XML Namespace) should be identified by URI reference ([Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Third Edition)](https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#sec-namespaces)). I tried to put the XML file in [a Postman Mock server](https://aee8dae8-bc11-482e-9468-b3ea16270bdf.mock.pstmn.io/test) and updated the xmlns of the DataTable element to an URI, i.e., [https://www.fashionmaster.co.uk](https://www.fashionmaster.co.uk) and Alumio can decode the XML. ![image](https://alumio-forum.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/uploads/original/1X/76df2dffcc5a1fce7b8ec09a142fb8c80c87845c.png) ---
