Export SQL Data to XML with and without Attributes

This workflow exports data from a MySQL database into two XML files: one with simple XML elements and another with XML attributes. It demonstrates how to structure and convert data for different XML formats.

n8n

The workflow begins by retrieving 16 random product records from a MySQL database. It then processes the data in two parallel paths. The first path structures the data into simple XML elements, while the second path adds XML attributes using a JSON key with a dollar sign. Both paths convert the structured data into XML format and save the resulting files locally.
