Mapping Between Property Sets and XML

An arbitrary property set hierarchy can be serialized to XML and an XML document can be converted to a property set hierarchy using the XML Converter business service. This service is used by the Business Service Simulator screen to save property set inputs and outputs to a file from eScript.

Each part of a property set object has a corresponding XML construct. The following table shows the mappings between parts of a property set hierarchy and their XML representation.

Property Set Component	XML Representation
PropertySet	Element
PropertySet Type	Element name (if Type is not specified, then the element name is set to PropertySet)
PropertySet Value	Element Character Data
Property name	Attribute name
Property value	Attribute value
Child Property Set	Child element
