Answer 1

I am providing a simplified example below, but am sure you will find the answers to your questions here. It is easy to loop over data and build XML in Karate using the karate.set(varName, xPath, value) API:

* table users
  | accountNo   | subsID         | mobile       | subsType  |
  | '113888572' | '113985218890' | '1135288836' | 'asd'     |
  | '113888573' | '113985218891' | '1135288837' | 'qwe'     |
  | '113888582' | '113985218810' | '1135288846' | 'asd'     |

* def xml = <users></users>
* def fun =
"""
function(u, i) {
  var base = '/users/user[' + (i + 1) + ']/';
  karate.set('xml', base + 'account', u.accountNo);
  karate.set('xml', base + 'mobile', u.mobile);
  karate.set('xml', base + 'type', u.subsType);
}
"""
* eval karate.forEach(users, fun)
* match xml ==
"""
<users>
  <user>
    <account>113888572</account>
    <mobile>1135288836</mobile>
    <type>asd</type>
  </user>
  <user>
    <account>113888573</account>
    <mobile>1135288837</mobile>
    <type>qwe</type>
  </user>
  <user>
    <account>113888582</account>
    <mobile>1135288846</mobile>
    <type>asd</type>
  </user>
</users>
