JarCastingXML Iteration
This library provides classes for de/serializing collections/streams of objects to XML. It relies heavily on JAXB.
Deserialization
XMLIterator
Given an InputStream containing the XML
<fruits>
<fruit name="orange"/>
<fruit name="lemon"/>
</fruits>
- the XML element name
fruitand - a class
Fruitwith suitable JAXB annotations,
the XMLIterator streams the InputStream until it finds a closing tag of fruit and deserializes it to an instance of Fruit:
XMLIterator<Fruit> iterator = new XMLIterator<>(inputStream, Fruit.class, "fruit");
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(iterator.next().getName());
}
for (Fruit fruit : new XMLIterator<>(inputStream, Fruit.class, "fruit")) {
System.out.println(fruit.getName());
}
will result in the output
orange
lemon
Iteration will occur on calls of hasNext() and continue until the end of the stream is reached.
Beware that if the stream is infinite and does not contain any matching element, the stream will iterate indefinitely!
