How to convert json array to xml array for post request? - arrays

Question

I have following post data for a JSON request which is working fine.
"customer"=>{"subdomain"=>"Test", "firstname"=>"john",
"lastname"=>"doe", "email"=>"john.doe#example.com",
"company"=>"Sample", "default_language"=>"en",
"active_modules"=>["cmdb", "evm", "itil"]}
I have also enabled XML for my server, so want to respond to XML post requests too. I tried to convert above JSON data to XML but it's not as expected.
<customer>
<active_modules>
<element>cmdb</element>
<element>evm</element>
<element>itil</element>
</active_modules>
<company>Sample</company>
<default_language>en</default_language>
<email>john.doe#example.com</email>
<firstname>john</firstname>
<lastname>doe</lastname>
<subdomain>Test</subdomain>
</customer>
Problem is with array element. How can I convert this array element to pass exactly same data as JSON requests to server?

Answer 1

For an array, you need to pass same node multiple times.
<customer>
<active_modules>cmdb</active_modules>
<active_modules>evm</active_modules>
<active_modules>itil</active_modules>
<company>Sample</company>
<default_language>en</default_language>
<email>john.doe#example.com</email>
<firstname>john</firstname>
<lastname>doe</lastname>
<subdomain>Test</subdomain>
</customer>
