If that property were set to "true", then I would expect to use that exact same schema to parse the following XML: ``` <people> <person> <name>John Doe</name> <id>123</id> <dob>01/01/2017</dob> </person> <person> <name>Jane Doe</name> <id>124</id> <dob>01/01/2016</dob> </person> <person> <name>Jake Doe</name> <id>125</id> <dob>01/01/2015</dob> </person> </people> ``` In this case, the 'people' element is just a wrapper and could just as easily be an element named 'root' or 'foo' or 'bar'. > Add XML record reader & writer services > --------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-4185 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4185 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Extensions > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Andy LoPresto > Assignee: Johannes Peter > Priority: Major > Labels: json, records, xml > > With the addition of the {{RecordReader}} and {{RecordSetWriter}} paradigm, > XML conversion has not yet been targeted.
