The hierarchical output formats XML and JSON are summarised here because they are very similar in structure and the contents are identical.
The root element is products and each product is in its own product element. The contained fields have already been discussed in more detail in the CSV formats.
detailed (full.xml, full.json)
This format is only available for API calls, not for exports. API retrieval is done with “full.xml” or “full.json”.
The large data volume of the detailed XML format means that it can not be used in the export. If all product data are to be exported via the export, the detailed CSV data format “CSV all data 2 (zip)” must be used.
In addition to product data, the format subforms contains the following referenced objects: Product type, manufacturer, reference source, all content types. References and content types can occur multiple times. The fields of the respective sub-elements are described in more detail in the format “CSV all data 2 (zip)”.
