Angular - How to post data to Prestashop webservice

Issue

I am working on an angular application which communicate with the API of Prestashop.

I can easily retrieve the list of products ... because Prestashop can return it in the JSON format.

Now I wish to create data ( POST data ) and Prestashop require XML ... Prestashop provide the blank schema, example :

<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <product>
    <id><![CDATA[]]></id>
    <id_manufacturer><![CDATA[]]></id_manufacturer>
    <id_supplier><![CDATA[]]></id_supplier>
    <id_category_default><![CDATA[]]></id_category_default>
    <new><![CDATA[]]></new>

Off course I can create the XML with a string but ... is there a better solution to manipulate this type of XML ? Something like :

• Download the blank XML from http://....
• Set value1 ...
• Post the xml

Solution

The full method :

To convert from XML to JSON :

var json = JSON.parse(converter.xml2json(xml_as_string, {compact: true, spaces: 4}));

To convert from json to XML :

var jsonString = JSON.stringify(json);
var xml = converter.json2xml(jsonString, {compact: true,  spaces: 4});

The original data is an XML, consequently the XML header is already available.
