How to batch upgrade dynamo files from Dynamo 1.x to 2.x? XML to JSON. I am opening them in Dynamo 2.x one by one and saving as and overwritting so it changes the schema to JSON

Open them 1x1 in the minimal version and environment which you are supporting, then do a save as, and then clear up any issues, save again and close.

Custom Nodes : Conversion Xml to Json architecture

(I didn’t test on my side, I didn’t have old dyns )

script to convert XML to JSON

do you know how to do that?

[jacob.small]

There is no safe tool for this that I am ware of - converting g thr XML to json is doable as noted above but you’re going to have to open each graph to test it in the upgraded version anyway, why not do the upgrade at the same time?

I want to search in which bunch of script what nodes have some keywords in the node name used because I never find them, JSON helps but no idea how to parse the XML

They are still text documents - searching the text should suffice.
