Transforming XML Form to JSON "Schema"

Developers
1

Hello everyone,

My name is Ile, I am one of the core contributors to OpenFn
(https://www.openfn.org/).

We've noticed that CommCareHQ has the ability for a user to upload a XForm
and convert it into JSON, that looks similar to the JSON Schema standard.
More specifically, the endpoint described here:
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Form+Data

We, at OpenFn, at the moment are building ODK Form -> JSON Schema (kind of
a) transformer and seeing what you people have done with your
implementation of the
aforementioned API ednpoint can be very helpful to us.

Since there's a lot of open source software on your Github Org page, can
you point me to the repo(s) where this part of the system is stored?

Thank you,
Ile

I think the code you're looking for is in this very small repository:
GitHub - dimagi/xml2json: Convert XML to JSON (meant to emulate current behavior of a part of dimagi/couchforms). It's an internal format that we use for
easy access, but it doesn't specifically adhere to the JSON Schema or any
other standard.

Cheers,
Danny
