Introducing the XML Connector

The XML connector allows you to index XML files stored on a filesystem. It can extract data from XML files in several ways using predefined processors such as XPath, XSLT, by element name.

You can also develop your own processor and use it with this connector.

The XML connector comes in the following variants:

  • The XML (simple) connector for rapid configuration.

  • The more powerful XML (advanced) connector, which allows you to run several processors on XML documents. Some processors can be chained, to feed one processor with the result of another processor.

    Important: Namespaces are not taken into account when XML files are parsed.
