How can i export Orbeon form data into xml

I a looking at Orbeon Forms (PE) to enable my customers to complete configuration data for their system and i need to export that data into XML format to enable me to load that into our system.

How do I get the xml output for a form?

Solution

  • The data entered in forms you create with Form Builder is captured by Orbeon Forms in XML documents. There are 3 ways for you to access this data:

    1. By implementing a service to receive the data, and configuring Orbeon Forms to call that service when new data is submitted by users.
    2. By calling a REST API provided by Orbeon Forms to pull data saved or submitted by users.
    3. By accessing the database where Orbeon Forms stores the data saved or submitted.
