      public static final XMLParserConfiguration KEEP_STRINGS
      Original configuration of the XML Parser except that values are kept as strings.

  • Constructor Details

    • XMLParserConfiguration

      public XMLParserConfiguration()
      Default parser configuration. Does not keep strings (tries to implicitly convert values), and the CDATA Tag Name is "content". Trims whitespace.

      @Deprecated public XMLParserConfiguration(boolean keepStrings)
      Deprecated.
      This constructor has been deprecated in favor of using the new builder pattern for the configuration. This constructor may be removed in a future release.
      Configure the parser string processing and use the default CDATA Tag Name as "content".
      Parameters:
      keepStrings - true to parse all values as string. false to try and convert XML string values into a JSON value.

    • XMLParserConfiguration

      @Deprecated public XMLParserConfiguration(String cDataTagName)
      Deprecated.
      This constructor has been deprecated in favor of using the new builder pattern for the configuration. This constructor may be removed in a future release.
      Configure the parser string processing to try and convert XML values to JSON values and use the passed CDATA Tag Name the processing value. Pass null to disable CDATA processing
      Parameters:
      cDataTagName - null to disable CDATA processing. Any other value to use that value as the JSONObject key name to process as CDATA.

      public Map<String,XMLXsiTypeConverter<?>> getXsiTypeMap()
      When parsing the XML into JSON, specifies that the values with attribute xsi:type will be converted to target type defined to client in this configuration Map<String, XMLXsiTypeConverter<?>> to parse values with attribute xsi:type="integer" as integer, xsi:type="string" as string

    • withMaxNestingDepth

      public XMLParserConfiguration withMaxNestingDepth(int maxNestingDepth)
      Defines the maximum nesting depth that the parser will descend before throwing an exception when parsing the XML into JSON. The default max nesting depth is 512, which means the parser will throw a JsonException if the maximum depth is reached. Using any negative value as a parameter is equivalent to setting no limit to the nesting depth, which means the parses will go as deep as the maximum call stack size allows.
      Overrides:
      withMaxNestingDepth in class ParserConfiguration
      Parameters:
      maxNestingDepth - the maximum nesting depth allowed to the XML parser
      Returns:
      The existing configuration will not be modified. A new configuration is returned.

    • withCloseEmptyTag

      public XMLParserConfiguration withCloseEmptyTag(boolean closeEmptyTag)
      To enable explicit end tag with empty value.
      Parameters:
      closeEmptyTag - new value for the closeEmptyTag property
      Returns:
      same instance of configuration with empty tag config updated

    • withShouldTrimWhitespace

      public XMLParserConfiguration withShouldTrimWhitespace(boolean shouldTrimWhiteSpace)
      Sets whether whitespace should be trimmed inside of tags. *NOTE* Do not use this if you expect your XML tags to have names that are the same as cDataTagName as this is unsupported. cDataTagName should be set to a distinct value in these cases.
      Parameters:
      shouldTrimWhiteSpace - boolean to set trimming on or off. Off is default.
      Returns:
      same instance of configuration with empty tag config updated

    • isCloseEmptyTag

      public boolean isCloseEmptyTag()
      Checks if the parser should automatically close empty XML tags.
      Returns:
      true if empty XML tags should be automatically closed, false otherwise.

    • shouldTrimWhiteSpace

      public boolean shouldTrimWhiteSpace()
      Checks if the parser should trim white spaces from XML content.
      Returns:
      true if white spaces should be trimmed, false otherwise.
