Show how a signed bitcoin transaction would look like if all its structured data was using XML to be structured

If a signed Bitcoin transaction were to be represented using XML for structuring its data, it could look something like the following example:

Code:

<transaction>
  <version>1</version>
  <inputs>
    <input>
      <txid>d9247d6699f9b90c34b06fffbba2d02bc56b6e84dd0c3f15d82d6b09e9adad13</txid>
      <vout>0</vout>
      <scriptSig>
        <hex>47304402203a4efdf2b7c164b8d3345d5e5e3f3b3ec7a75c0e94f7c9e2471e2eebb0f8b4302207e0ef5f50e5d5e58b5d0f9ef4b4e7d5cda4dddf7ea1f9636b7deae8dbd40dab501</hex>
      </scriptSig>
      <sequence>ffffffff</sequence>
    </input>
  </inputs>
  <outputs>
    <output>
      <value>100000</value>
      <scriptPubKey>
        <hex>76a9148b9ea8545059f3a922457afd14ddf3855d8b109988ac</hex>
      </scriptPubKey>
    </output>
    <output>
      <value>70000000</value>
      <scriptPubKey>
        <hex>76a914cbc20a7664f2f69e5355aa427045bc15e7c6c77288ac</hex>
      </scriptPubKey>
    </output>
  </outputs>
  <locktime>0</locktime>
</transaction>

Please note that this XML representation is a purely hypothetical example and not used in the actual Bitcoin protocol. The Bitcoin protocol uses a binary format to serialize transaction data, which is more efficient in terms of storage and processing. The hexadecimal string provided in previous responses is the serialized binary data in a human-readable format.

Pretty cool -- I'm sure this would have some use, somewhere. I've been told by developers (am not one myself) that ChatGPT can also come up with novel coding solutions to problems, capable of putting things together in ways that traditional programmers wouldn't consider, as its free from innate human bias.

I asked it to perform a similar task for the JSON format and it almost did it, looks just a little wonky, and then it put an incomplete BTC address as the second output. But it doesn't really matter... its just providing a format where elements can be plugged in.

Here's an example of a signed bitcoin transaction represented in JSON format:

What's so special about this?!

This is basically taking a JSON string which is literary the most common way that block explorers serialize transactions when their API call is used [1] and converts it to a XML representation which is a very straight forward and basic operation [2]. So for example instead of using ""version":1," it is using "<version>1</version>".

There was no need for "AI" here. There may even be some block explorer API out there that directly returns an XML serialization of the transactions without needing to do any kind of conversion!

Keep in mind that XML and JSON and other similar formats are not the way you "structure" a data, they are all text-based formats for representing data (ie. human readable format).
