XML Parser Stage

    The XML parser stage parses whole XML documents by default, but it can also be configured to parse only specific nodes without loading the entire document into memory. It can also split an XML document into multiple documents. XPATH-like expressions are used to select specific nodes to parse, such as /posts/row or /posts/record. Nested XML elements are flattened.

    To create new documents from selected elements, configure rootPaths.

    Note
    		 The XML Transformation index pipeline stage is deprecated in favor of this parser stage.
    Tip
    		 When entering configuration values in the UI, use unescaped characters, such as \t for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use escaped characters, such as \\t for the tab character.

    Indicates if parser stage should use the default media types. Unchecking this box means that ONLY the manually configured media types will be parsed by the parser and you then MUST provide at least one media type.

    type: boolean

    default value: 'true'
    listHandling

    default value: 'multivalued'

    enum: { multivalued index_numbered }
    maxSize

    Maximum output size for each document
