public class XML
extends java.lang.Object

This class is a static helper for various ways of converting an XML document/InputStream into a JSON stream or String and vice-versa. For example, the XML document:

<getValuesReturn return="true"> <attribute attrValue="value"/> <String>First item</String> <String>Second item</String> <String>Third item</String> <TextTag>Text!</TextTag> <EmptyTag/> <TagWithAttrs attr1="value1" attr2="value2" attr3="value3"/> <TagWithAttrsAndText attr1="value1" attr2="value2" attr3="value3">Text!</TagWithAttrsAndText> </getValuesReturn>
in JSON (in non-compact form) becomes
{ "getValuesReturn" : { "return" : "true", "TextTag" : "Text!", "String" : [ "First item", "Second item", "Third item" ], "TagWithAttrsAndText" : { "content" : "Text!", "attr3" : "value3", "attr2" : "value2", "attr1" : "value1" } , "EmptyTag" : true, "attribute" : { "attrValue" : "value" } , "TagWithAttrs" : { "attr3" : "value3", "attr2" : "value2", "attr1" : "value1" } } }

toJson

public static void toJson(java.io.InputStream XMLStream,
                          java.io.OutputStream JSONStream)
                   throws org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                          java.io.IOException

Method to do the transform from an XML input stream to a JSON stream. Neither input nor output streams are closed. Closure is left up to the caller. Same as calling toJson(inStream, outStream, false); (Default is compact form)

Parameters:

XMLStream - The XML stream to convert to JSON

JSONStream - The stream to write out JSON to. The contents written to this stream are always in UTF-8 format.

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXException - Thrown is a parse error occurs.

java.io.IOException - Thrown if an IO error occurs.

toJson

public static void toJson(java.io.InputStream XMLStream,
                          java.io.OutputStream JSONStream,
                          boolean verbose)
                   throws org.xml.sax.SAXException,
                          java.io.IOException

Method to do the transform from an XML input stream to a JSON stream. Neither input nor output streams are closed. Closure is left up to the caller.

Parameters:

XMLStream - The XML stream to convert to JSON

JSONStream - The stream to write out JSON to. The contents written to this stream are always in UTF-8 format.

verbose - Flag to denote whether or not to render the JSON text in verbose (indented easy to read), or compact (not so easy to read, but smaller), format.

Throws:

org.xml.sax.SAXException - Thrown if a parse error occurs.

java.io.IOException - Thrown if an IO error occurs.

toJson
