The hardware inventory endpoint XML schema is split into two parts: a header and a body. The header contains information that identifies the client and other report details. The body contains the actual report data. The body is constructed from one or more Instance elements. Each instance represents a reported hardware item. An instance contains an element with the same name as the reported Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class. (Element name WMIClass is used in this documentation to represent the reported WMI class name). Each WMIclass element contains elements with the same name as the reported WMI properties for the WMI class. The data within the property name element is the literal data in text format.
