  • Removes old dependencies

Update 1.0.2

  • Adds 'removeNamespace' optional boolean parameter to xmltojson which strips all namespace prefixes and xmlns declaration tags

  • Updated to the latest org.json library.
    • No longer parses numbers leading with 0 as octet numbers

    Version of log4j in this package is 1.2.15 and not 2.15 unless I'm mistaken.

    CVE-2021-44228: Versions Affected: all versions from 2.0-beta9 through 2.12.1 and 2.13.0 through 2.14.1

    CVE-2021-45046: Versions Affected: all versions from 2.0-beta9 through 2.12.1 and 2.13.0 through 2.15.0

    Having said this package uses an old version of jackson-databind which contains quite a few other critical CVEs. This dependency should probably be updated to the latest version.

  • Hi, It appears that this plugin uses Log4J 1.2.15. Can you please update the plugin to the latest version of log4J to conter the recent vulnerability - CVE-2021-44228

  • , there isn't currently any documentation outside of the rule instructions. You can call the function by using "fn!xmltojson", and pass in the following parameters:

    xml: The string containing the xml to parse

    stringsOnly (Boolean): If true, all numbers and booleans are parsed as strings, useful if you have large or very precise numbers you don't want automatically parsed when converting from JSON to an Appian object.

    removeNamespace (Boolean): If true, all namespaces will be stripped and xmlns tags are removed (simplifies the data returned)

  • Is there any Documentation available for this on how to use this
