XStream - Convertidor personalizado

XStream permite escribir un convertidor desde cero, de modo que el desarrollador pueda escribir una implementación completamente nueva sobre cómo serializar un objeto en XML y viceversa. Una interfaz de convertidor proporciona tres métodos:

  • canConvert - Es una comprobación de la serialización del tipo de objeto admitido.

  • marshal - serializa un objeto a XML.

  • unmarshal - Desserializa un objeto de XML.

Paso 1: Implementar la interfaz del convertidor

class StudentConverter implements Converter {

   public boolean canConvert(Class object) {
      return object.equals(Student.class);
   }
   
   public void marshal(Object value, HierarchicalStreamWriter writer, MarshallingContext context) {
      Student student = (Student) value;
      writer.startNode("name");
      writer.setValue(student.getName().getFirstName() + "," + student.getName().getLastName());
      writer.endNode();
   }
   
   public Object unmarshal(HierarchicalStreamReader reader, UnmarshallingContext context) {
      reader.moveDown();
      String[] nameparts = reader.getValue().split(",");
      Student student = new Student(nameparts[0],nameparts[1]);
      reader.moveUp();
      return student;
   }
}

Paso 2: Registrar convertidor

xstream.registerConverter(new StudentConverter());

Probemos ahora el código con convertidor en XStream.

Cree un archivo de clase java llamado XStreamTester en C:\>XStream_WORKSPACE\com\tutorialspoint\xstream.

Verificar el resultado

Compila las clases usando javac compilador de la siguiente manera:

C:\XStream_WORKSPACE\com\tutorialspoint\xstream>javac XStreamTester.java

Ahora ejecute XStreamTester para ver el resultado:

C:\XStream_WORKSPACE\com\tutorialspoint\xstream>java XStreamTester

Verifique la salida de la siguiente manera:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<student>
   <name>Mahesh,Parashar</name>
</student>
