kong XML 2 JSON transformer

updated XML to JSON custom plugin for Kong 3.4.0 on k8s.

Forked from: https://github.com/Saeed-AlRafi/kong-XML-2-JSON-transformer

What:

This plugin will convert XML objects from upstream and convert them to JSON before sending them downstream.

How:

The plugin starts by checking the "Content-Type" header. if it is "application/xml" then it will change it to "application/json" and proceed with converting the body.

Setup:

Create a ConfigMap with the Lua code of the plugin by applying the supplied ConfigMap.yaml.

Build a custom container image for the proxy-kong Deployment by using the supplied Dockerfile and push it to a container repository accessible from your cluster. This is one way to supply the necessary dependencies to the plugin Lua code.

To install the plugin, first modify the Deployment "kong-proxy" to use your custom image you created in the last step and to mount the Lua code from your ConfigMap:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: ingress-kong
  namespace: kong
...
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: proxy
        env:
        - name: KONG_PLUGINS
          value: bundled,xml-2-json-transformer
        - name: KONG_LUA_PACKAGE_PATH
          value: "/opt/?.lua;;"
        volumeMounts:
        - mountPath: /opt/kong/plugins/xml-2-json-transformer
          name: plugin-xml-2-json-transformer
    image: YOUR-DOCKER-IMAGE-IN-DOCKERHUB
    ...
      volumes:
      - configMap:
          defaultMode: 420
          name: plugin-xml-2-json-transformer
        name: plugin-xml-2-json-transformer
    ...

Now the Plugin can be defined as a KongPlugin or KongClusterPlugin and then applied to Ingresses or Services just like official plugins:

apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongPlugin
metadata:
  name: xml-2-json-transformer
  namespace: business-logic
plugin: xml-2-json-transformer
–––
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: xml-api-unchanged
  namespace: business-logic
  annotations:
    konghq.com/strip-path: 'true'
    konghq.com/plugins: xml-2-json-transformer
spec:
  ingressClassName: kong
  rules:
    - http:
        paths:
          - path: '/xml-api'
            pathType: Prefix
            backend:
              service:
                name: xml-api
                port:
                  number: 18080
