Developers will receive fatal `processingStatus` in the `getFeed` API response for these feeds. For more information, refer to the [deprecation announcement](https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/changelog/deprecation-of-feeds-api-support-for-xml-and-flat-file-listings-feeds). This guide explains how to migrate listings management workflows from XML and flat file listings submissions to the <>s API and `JSON_LISTINGS_FEED`. This is necessary to prepare for the deprecation of legacy feed types. Review the [Building Listing Management Workflows Guide](https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/docs/building-listings-management-workflows-guide) prior to this migration guide. ## Benefits The guidance offered here describes the following benefits for both sellers and vendors: * Full data requirements in product schemas * Availability of pre-submission validation rules * Sync and async feedback mechanisms * Up-to-date product type data requirements that ensure you are using the latest version, unlike XMLs * Uniformity in schemas across data requirements, unlike XML in the past that led to errors for developers uploading multiple categories * Reducing the effort required to map flat file or XML attributes to Listings APIs and the `JSON_LISTINGS_FEED` * Reducing human/manual input errors leading to submission errors and abandoned selections * Easier management of large catalogs and sending of full selections with no upload constraints ## API versions This guide references operations in the following Selling Partner API sections.
