Hey Valentin, The audio is a little bit 'chipmonkey' around the 2:35 mark, it's only for about 10 seconds though. :) Was that just to speed through the console logging? :)

Hi Valentin, how can I parse SOAP in Postman to create variables? I'm having trouble parsing this type of response <soap:Envelope<soap:Header> . My first step was to convert the response to jsonObject.

But using the index 0, 1, 2, 3 is bit fragile, Is there is any way to check for presence of field(name) in XML rather than by its index

[evgenisamoilenko]

How can we find Set 1 by the name? What if there were 1000 groups and I need to find a group with Set: "Set 738" for example

Looks like xml2json has been deprecated in favor of xml2js.

[MilenMinchev]

Hi Valentin, your vids on postman are superb, keep the good job up. Can you help with the following please var jsonObject = xml2Json(responseBody);
