Got an idea for a new feature or integration? We’d love to hear it! You can find our roadmap here.
Dan Linstedt shared this idea
The API supports the methods that we need, but it’s XML based (https://app.greenrope.com/wiki.pl?a=4&st=1&t=46), so it’s quite a bit harder to develop and support.
Leaving this up to see what the interest is like from others.
Hey Jack, Understood.
Just some thoughts:
1) JSON to XML:
https://fuelingphp.com/how-to-convert-json-to-xml-in-php/
2) XML to JSON:
https://fuelingphp.com/xml-to-json-in-php/
There are quite a few libs out there that provide this functionality – I would say: code it once in two functions, then simply operate as you always would with JSON, convert to and from XML just before the call.
Just a thought…

Yup totally, it is possible. Our Infusionsoft integration uses XML so we’ve done it before. But for example:
What happens to an & when converted into XML?
What about a ‘ vs a “, vs a ” ?
Or a character with an accent like é ?
We also have to consider servers which use line breaks in different formats, i.e. \n as opposed to PHP_EOL.
In many cases with these older APIs we need to write code to handle those edge cases. Amazingly we’re still running into stuff like that with Infusionsoft / Keap after 8 years!
So, totally possible. Just takes more work 🙂
