Xml

Overview

Module

• package: org.eclipse.dirigible.sdk.utils
• source: utils/Xml.java

XML ↔ JSON conversion via the platform's Jackson XML mapper. Use this to consume legacy SOAP responses without writing schema-derived bindings, or to emit XML payloads from data already shaped as JSON.

The conversion is structural — element / attribute names become JSON keys, text nodes become string values, repeated elements become arrays. Round-tripping is reliable for tree-shaped documents; mixed-content XML (text interleaved with elements) loses some fidelity.

Key Features:

• Jackson XML-backed — same conversion rules across the platform.
• String in / string out — no streaming or DOM bookkeeping.

Example Usage:

import org.eclipse.dirigible.sdk.utils.Xml;

String json = Xml.toJson("<order><id>42</id><amount>1299</amount></order>");
String xml  = Xml.fromJson("{\"order\":{\"id\":\"42\",\"amount\":\"1299\"}}");
