In pins 2 + flow

flow
flow
XML Root Tag required
value
The root tag entity of the XML to build (e.g. "user")
data required
object
Data to build XML from, you could use "@" keys to add attributes.

Out pins 3 + flow

flow
flow
success
condition
Returns true if we could build XML from given object
XML
value
If succeeded, returns the XML output as value
error
value
If not succeeded, returns the error while building XML

Builds an XML string FROM the object : despite the name it serializes, it does not parse. Keys become elements in ALPHABETICAL order (not insertion order), arrays repeat the parent element per item, scalar values are escaped, and nil values emit empty elements; the xml_root pin wraps everything in a root tag after the XML declaration. Falsy data (nil, "", 0, false) serializes as an empty root. success is always true and error is never set; "@" keys become literal elements, NOT attributes.

A typical wiring for from object: a function trigger starts the flow; the flow out pin feeds debug.
