Transcoder Transcode
Transcodes and validates the integrity of a JSON or XML serialized data object.
Transcoding is available from JSON to XML and vice versa. Additionally, the same encoding type can be used both for input and output, which is useful for schema validation as the transcoder service always does schema validation. Accordingly, requests with data objects that do not match the selected {release} are rejected.
The vSphere release schema. The current specification covers vSphere 8.0.2.0 APIs.
The target vSphere release.
The optional target_release query parameter can be used to downgrade the data object to a previous release. According to the rules for backward compatibility, this is achieved by removing all fields that were not present in the target release - and upcasting in case the data object is introduced after the target release.
The XML or JSON object to be transcoded. Should be a valid representation of Data Object defined in the 'vim' namespace.
