- **UniFi** - Changing tracking settings will no longer disable entities but will remove them completely from the state machine and entity registry. The SSID filter will now mark all wireless clients as `not_home` if they are connected to SSIDs that are not a part of the filter. - ([@Kane610] - [#31762]) ([unifi docs])
- **Rest** - Many devices continue to use XML for RESTful APIs. This change implements converting XML output to JSON via `xmltojson` so it can work with the existing rest sensor component. As the attributes that usually need to be scraped are deeper in the document, support for passing in a template to find the JSON attributes has been added. JSON APIs that do not have their attributes at the top level can also benefit from this change. - ([@bdraco] - [#31809]) ([rest docs])

`xmltojson` tags may be confusing; if you are not familiar with the conversion, please use the [xmltodict](https://xmltodict-debugger.glitch.me/) tool created by [@balloob] to identify the tags to be used to parse the resulting JSON.
