XML Enveloper

Usage

The XML Enveloper generates an XML-formatted output message from text-based input messages.

You need to convert data which does not comply with the XML syntax before using the XML Enveloper. You can, for example, encode binary data with the base64 algorithm.

Properties

Character set of the source data/Character set of the target document

The default setting is the UTF-8 character set. In addition, the following character sets can be selected: CP437, CP850, ISO‑8859‑1, US-ASCII, UTF‑16, UTF-16BE und UTF-16LE. You can also enter any other character set, if needed.
XML root element name

The default name is DATA. You can choose any XML-compliant name.
CDATA element (ignore special characters)

Select this option if the input message contains reserved XML special characters, such as <, >, or /. When the option is selected, the entire content of the input message is enclosed in a CDATA element (beginning with the tag <![CDATA[ and ending with ]]>). CDATA segments will be ignored in the syntax analysis.
