This document discusses parsing an XML payload in Mule ESB using DataWeave. It provides an example XML input file with user data. It then shows a Mule flow configuration that uses a DataWeave transform to parse the XML payload and set the payload to a JSON output with the first and last names from the XML. The DataWeave code treats the XML payload like a static class to retrieve the name and last name values from the XML tags.

5. IN THE TRANSFORM CODE, JUST USE THE BELOW SIMPLE
LOGIC.
THE XML DATA WILL COME TO THE TRANSFORM
MESSAGE AS PAYLOAD. NOW CONSIDER PAYLOAD AS A
STATIC CLASS IN JAVA AND FOLLOW THE BELOW CODE
TO GET THE WHATEVER THE DATA YOU NEED TO
RETRIEVE FROM AN XML TAG.
THE VALUES ARE ASSIGNED TO VARIABLES.
{
FIRSTNAME: PAYLOAD.USER.NAME,
LASTNAME: PAYLOAD.USER.LASTNAME
}

Test this service from a browser or by using the postman you can find
the desired output
