inputStr

A string in wither XML or JSON format which specifies the object values to set.

The input string format (XML or JSON) is intellegently guessed based on the first character of the inputString. If the inputStr starts with '{', the input is judged to be a JSON definition, otherwise it is treated as an XML definition.
