You can try with noxDb. It uses an object graph that will allow you to put

Exactly what I thought... they just took their XML, converted it and that's
it. No validating, etc.

However it is a nasty job you got there from your boss. Why can’t you
convince the partner that’s wrong?

Well, I've been a consultant for this customer for years. Just a new
project we're working on and running into roadblocks like this.

We've done 100s of other projects without issue. This is with a new
trading partner, though. I honestly can say this is the first time I've
run into such horrible documentation, examples and the fact that the JSON
is invalid really takes the cake.

My only other option may be to just build the JSON by hand in a string or
IFS file... but I HATE doing things like that just to get around the
ignorance of another.
