Converting a Flat File into an XML Document

There are use cases where you might want to parse a flat file into an XML document for further processing. The example below shows such an implementation.

The conversion process consists of the following steps:

1. Flat File Parsing
   You need to parse the flat file blob into a flat file data structure. Flat File Parsing describes how to define the needed data structures in the Designer for this example.

2. XML Document Structure and Mapping
   Before being able to create the XML document, you need to define the XML document structure using XML extensions, and map the data from the flat file.

3. XML Serialization
   Parse the data from the flat file structure into the XML document using classToXML().
