What have you tried so far? Make sure you read the help text for the node.

Are you a beginner with node-red? If so then I recommend watching this playlist: Node-RED Essentials. The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.

So you see the XML node converts the XML file into a JS Object in the msg.payload and can be directly used further or a JS Object will be converted into a XML file

books.txt (4,4 KB)

You need to adapt the file read node to read your xml file.
