xml2json

xml2json is a Java library allowing to transform any XML string to a JSON format. The datatype interpretation may be customized via a property file : thus, a known xpath may be forced to a Date type, respecting a given format, a numeric value, an array, a string, ... This project is based on the json.org library (https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-java)

Usage

Include the jar and use the XmlToJsonService class to convert your flow. The properties file included in the "ConfigurationMapEnumTypes" constructor sets the mapping. It relies on the folowing format :

xpath=datatype

where : 
    - xpath is an xml xpath (dot as field separator)
    - datatype takes its value in 
        . number
        . date|yyyy-MM-dd (in this case, the date format is given before the pipe caracter)
        . boolean
        . array


Example : 

bloc_date.blocid.attr_date=date|yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss
bloc_boolean2.blocid2.attr_bool=boolean
bloc.test_liste.test_liste=array

        this.stXmlToJson = new XmlToJsonService(conf.getProperties());

    public String doMyConvertion() throws JSONException {
        String xml = "<bloc>"

                + "<test_liste>test liste 1</test_liste>"
                + "<test_liste>test liste 2</test_liste>"
