I'm processing many xml file which can change their structure (various tagging names or position in the hierarchy). No XSD is availible. and even if I build one the new xml can have new tagging so each time I create new reader based on the all new xmls files population to verify if there is a new tagging vs old groups.

Is there any agile way to setup a reader to discover new tags and add them to the reader while reading xml? I can handle new tags later in workspace but I miss the knowledge how to set xml reader to autodiscover and proces new tags by default while I start FME workspace using bat files.

Without an XDS you can't take the easy route and use a schemaReader.

 

 

What if you used XMLFlattener with Element to Match set to *, (flattening enabled), then the SchemaSetter Custom transformer.

You would end up with all the attributes in an attribute list. You would need to clean it up a bit to remove instance level attributes.
