Method: Jamf::XMLWorkaround.data_via_xml

Defined in:
lib/jamf/api/classic/xml_workaround.rb

.data_via_xml(rsrc, map, cnx) ⇒ Object

When APIObject classes are fetched, API JSON data is retrieved by the APIObject#lookup_object_data method, which parses the JSON into Ruby data.

If the APIObject class has the constant USE_XML_WORKAROUND defined, that means the JSON data from the API is invalid, incorrect, or otherwise borked. So instead, the XML is retrieved from the API here.

It is then parsed by using the methods in this module and returned to the APIObject#lookup_object_data method, which then treats it normally.
