An XML Template allows processing values in an MQTT message sent in XML format. Users must declare a message's format and replace fields into nodes to be transformed into values by the keywords. The next code contains an example of a message in XML format.

<updates>
  <update>
    <id>TEMP23A</id>
    <value>34.5</value>
    <quality>true</quality>
    <timestamp>10/18/2016 22:30:45</timestamp>
  </update>
</updates>

The next code contains a possible Template for the previous message.
