Persist in XML format

XML format

The annotation @BindType allow to persist Java class instance in its XML rapresentation

@BindType
public class User {
  public String email;
  public String name;
  public String surname;
}

As default behaviour, @BindType annotation bind all public fields and attribute with getter/setter. Before serialize/deserialize java object in XML format, you need to registry the XML context:

KriptonBinder.registryBinder(new KriptonXmlContext());

Code to generate an xml version of User instance class:

BinderContext binderContext=KriptonBinder.bind(BinderType.XML);
String result = binderContext.serialize(bean);

Generated xml will be similar to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<user>
    <email>dummy@test.org</email>
    <name>Tonj</name>
    <surname>Manero</surname>
    <username>1234</username>
</user>

Kripton does not support (in current release) pretty printing, so output will be a inline xml. I format xml for readability reason.

Code to parse xml and create a User instance:

User user=binderContext.parse(result, User.class);
