JSONToXML ignores ObjectRootElementName for object with one property

[#1]

When I try to convert JSON with only one property inside

{"abc":"123"}

for some reason it ignores options

<ObjectRootElementName>Root</ ObjectRootElementName>

and return XML like this

<abc>123</abc>

but if I try to pass JSON with more than one property it perfectly works. For example for the next JSON

{"abc":"123", "efg": "456"}

it returns expected XML

<Root><abc>123</abc><efg>456</efg></Root>

What could be the reason of behavior like this and how to prevent it?

Please confirm: Your expected return value in the first case is:

<Root><abc>123</abc></Root>

Yes, that's exact XML that I expected to get! 🙂

Did you solve this issue? I have the same situation here.

The solution, I guess, would be to have an additional policy

• a preceding policy that wraps the input JSON in another layer
  
  - OR -
  
• a subsequent policy that wraps the output XML in your preferred root element

Ah, yes.

The documentation states:

<ObjectRootElementName> specifies the root element name when you convert from JSON, which does not have a named root element, to XML.

Based on this, I think the behavior you are reporting, is the expected behavior.
