XML and JSON Replacement Steps

Cycle contains the following Steps for replacing text within XML documents:

    I replace variables in XML|JSON "<a>${VAR}</a>" with variable "new_XML"
    I replace variables in XML|JSON file "INPUT_FILE" and save as "OUTPUT_FILE"
    I replace variables in XML|JSON "<a>${VAR}</a>" and save as "OUTPUT_FILE"
    I replace variables in XML|JSON file "INPUT_FILE" with variable "new_XML"

These Steps allow Cycle to interface directly with XML and JSON code snippets.

By using a template file with Cycle variable placeholders Cycle users can end up with a new xml or JSON document that can be posted to an API.

Common Use Cases​

Test Data Management​

By injecting data into the system under test via an XML document, while keeping the test cases parameterized, test suites can be much more modular and flexible.

Web API Calls​

Many of the APIs that Cycle interacts with require a posted JSON body, these new steps allow for parameterized JSON.
