It can be challenging to work with XML files in ASP.NET Core, particularly when deserialization issues arise. Reading XML data, turning it into an object, and then iterating through each item to refine and add it to a database are the steps involved in this process. This section will teach you how to deserialize XML using IDataRecord mapping, which is necessary when several XML objects need to match a database schema. You'll be ready to manage XML parsing with the help of thorough examples and best practices, guaranteeing data integrity and effective database mapping.
