Choosing Between Standard and Advanced XML Feeds

Updated over 3 months ago

Introduction

Wonderkind now allows XML uploads in Standard and Advanced formats. This change is significant for users who previously faced compatibility issues with these two different XML formats.

Key Differences

Standard XML

  • Indeed XML: Standard XML is widely recognized and used across various platforms.

  • Language Flexibility: It differs mainly in language, which you need to add manually when using Wonderkind.

Advanced XML

  • Customized for Wonderkind: It's specifically tailored to fit the unique requirements of the Wonderkind platform.

  • Unique Fields: Contains specific fields that align with the functionalities of Wonderkind.

    Please note that the Advanced XML format doesn't require a language field, while the Standard XML format needs this field for successful campaign deployment. Therefore, when selecting Standard XML as your data source, remember to choose the language accordingly.

Benefits

  1. Enhanced Compatibility: Our XML Integration ensures effortless compatibility by enabling you to upload XML data in the Standard format. The feature aligns seamlessly with the Standard XML structure, guaranteeing you a smooth and error-free experience. This compatibility enhancement is crucial for maintaining data integrity and reducing the risk of errors during the upload process.

  2. Expanded Functionality: Unlock new possibilities with Wonderkind's XML Integration. Previously constrained, you can now leverage the Standard XML format to upload diverse data sources to the Wonderkind platform. This expansion broadens the range of available functionalities, empowering you to make the most of your data.

  3. Simplified Workflow: Experience a more intuitive and user-friendly process with Wonderkind's XML Integration. Replicating fields and validation within Wonderkind's XML format streamlines the user journey, making it easier to upload XML data in Indeed's format. The inclusion of all necessary fields ensures a cohesive and efficient workflow.

Notes

  • N/A Data: If a cell is left empty in the Advanced XML, the data is considered N/A.

  • City and State Elements: Wonderkind does not use <city> or <state> elements; it uses <location> instead.

  • Multilingual Posting on Standard XML: For posting the same job in multiple languages, the Standard format requires creating a unique job in the XML for every language.

Conclusion

Wonderkind's move to accommodate a Standard XML marks a significant step towards user convenience and platform versatility. This integration bridges the gap between two different XML formats, enhancing the overall user experience.
