func CountListItems ¶

func CountListItems(xmlData []byte) (int, error)

CountListItems counts the direct child elements of the XML root, excluding any <size> element. This is purpose-built for Jamf Classic API list endpoints like /JSSResource/policies which return:

<policies><size>2</size><policy>...</policy><policy>...</policy></policies>

func ExtractListItems ¶

func ExtractListItems(xmlData []byte) ([]map[string]any, error)

ExtractListItems extracts the repeated child elements from a Classic API list XML response as a slice of maps, skipping <size>. Each child element is recursively converted to a map.

func IsXML ¶

func IsXML(data []byte) bool

IsXML returns true if data appears to be XML (starts with '<' after whitespace).

func ToJSON ¶

func ToJSON(xmlData []byte) ([]byte, error)

ToJSON converts XML bytes to JSON bytes. The root XML element becomes the top-level JSON key: <policy>...</policy> → {"policy": {...}}.

Collection elements that contain a <size> child are treated as arrays: their non-<size> children are collected into a JSON array. This matches the Jamf Classic API convention where list containers always include <size>.

func ToMap ¶

func ToMap(xmlData []byte) (map[string]any, error)

ToMap converts XML bytes to a map. The root element name is the top-level key. See ToJSON for array-detection heuristics.
