The XML Reader [XML reader] can read an XML file that has been written by an XML Writer [XML writer].
In Fig. „ XML Writer [XML writer] node“ in Section 1.7.2.1, “XML Writer”the XML Writer [XML writer] node was behind the conversion service.
To read, we start the pipeline with an XML reader and then continue with an attribute mapper [AttributeMapper] node.
The input [Input] and conversion [Conversion] parameters must be specified in the XML reader.
