XML job feeds for bulk import

The job import dashboard now accepts XML alongside CSV. Drop in a flat job feed or an RSS-style channel feed and Cavuno auto-maps columns, deduplicates against existing listings, and posts the batch in the background.

XML feeds now flow through the same upload, AI column mapping, and dedup pipeline as CSV — so migrating a job board that exports an XML feed (or pulling from an RSS-style aggregator) takes one drag-and-drop instead of a spreadsheet conversion step.

How it works

  • One importer for both formats: the dashboard's job import accepts .csv and .xml files up to 10 MB. Cavuno detects the format from the file extension
  • Tree-flattening parser: nested elements become dotted paths (salary.min, salary.max), attributes become @-prefixed keys (location.@country), and repeated siblings (multi-category tags) join with |
  • Auto row detection: flat feeds (<source><job>…</job></source>) and RSS-style feeds (<rss><channel><item>…</item></channel></rss>) both work without configuration. Namespace prefixes are stripped, so <gj:title> reads as title
  • CDATA preserved: HTML descriptions inside <![CDATA[…]]> survive intact through to the existing sanitization pass
  • Same AI mapping + dedup: the column mapping, location geocoding, and duplicate detection run identically — so a recurring XML feed reuses its previous mapping after the first import
