Hello all
I share a Python script to convert old dyf(s) with Xml architecture to new Json architecture (custom node).
Conversion to launch from Dynamo Revit higher than 2.04.
Note
With Dynamo 2.13+ if your custom nodes are written with IronPython2 engine and the dyf’s format is Xml (old dyf architecture) this will default affect to the CPython3 engine instead of the ipy2 engine.

Example of conversion from Revit 2021 (Dynamo 2.6)
related topic
Note 1:
as of the day this post is written, I recommend to Revit 2021 for conversion to maintain retro compatibility
Note 2:
any comments for improvement or correction are welcome, in particular how to get the current DynamoViewModel object without going through a Dynamo extension
Update script xml to json_v5.dyn (10.6 KB)
