## postman-xml2Json-example.txt
Postman is an exceptionally useful tool for testing ReST apis.

The following is an example of how to use the xml2Json method in a test if you are getting back xml and want to test elements in the response. The reason that I am posting this is that I could not get xml2Json to work until I discovered (using the new console in Version 4.7.2) that I needed the include the .$. in the object reference.

So that this is completely self contained all this is doing is setting an env var with an xml string, getting that
var, converting it to json and then evaluating the content.

postman.setEnvironmentVariable("testresponse", "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?><myResponse isError=\"false\"/>");

var xmlresponse = postman.getEnvironmentVariable("testresponse");

var jsonObject = xml2Json(xmlresponse);

tests["isError false"] = jsonObject.myResponse.$.isError === "false";
