parse_xml

Coming soon

Parses an XML string into a Liquid object. Useful for processing XML feeds, API responses, and file imports.

{% assign data = xml_string | parse_xml %}
{% log data %}

Syntax

{{ xml_string | parse_xml }}

Parameter	Description
xml_string	A string containing valid XML data

Return Value

Returns a Liquid object representing the XML structure. Elements become object keys, text content becomes values, and repeated elements become arrays.

Examples

Parse an XML API response:

{% http url:"https://api.example.com/products.xml" method:"GET" as response %}
{% assign data = response.body | parse_xml %}
{% for product in data.products.product %}
  {% log product.title %}
{% endfor %}

Parse an uploaded XML file:

{% assign data = file.content | parse_xml %}
{% log data %}

Parse an XML feed and extract items:

{% assign feed = xml_content | parse_xml %}
{% assign items = feed.rss.channel.item %}
{% for item in items %}
  {% log item.title | append: " - " | append: item.link %}
{% endfor %}

Process XML product feed:

{% assign catalog = file.content | parse_xml %}
{% assign products = catalog.catalog.products.product %}
{% for product in products %}
  {% log product.sku | append: ": " | append: product.name | append: " ($" | append: product.price | append: ")" %}
{% endfor %}

Notes

• Elements with text content are converted to their text value directly

• Repeated sibling elements with the same name become arrays

• Attributes and nested elements are preserved in the object structure
