Lightweight XML Serializationg and Deserialization library for Java

xjx's Issues

build: wrong commit tagged when releasing

When releasing the github-tagger tags the repo based upon the last commit the github action has been triggered from.
This is not correct as during the run in the bump version step a new commit has been added. Which is not seen by the github-tagger although the previous step (checkout) check out the correct commit (inlcuding the bumped version).

xjx-serdes: make defaulting to null when value cannot be mapped onto Enum configurable

When a value cannot be mapped to an enum it is defaulted to null.

Make this configurable.

Reset accessibility for fields that are not accessible by default

When setting fields using reflection (ie. in FieldReflector ) check if the fields is accessible first, if not make it accessible and afterwards set the accessibility back to the default value.

xjx-serdes: Make parsing of xml values to Date and/or Time objects configurable

Currently in TypeMappers the default .parse methods are used to parse the String to a date and/or time object.

Make this configurable on a global parser level.

xjx-serdes: make outputted XML identation configurable

Currently the default indentation is 2 spaces this should be made configurable

Add support for serializing to file

It's currently only possible to serialize a POJO to a String. Add support for serializing a POJO to a File.

xjx-serdes: make pretty printing of serialized xml output configurable

Currently the default behavior is to pretty print all outputted XML. To save space make this configurable and if enabled remove all unnecessary white space.

xjx-serdes: make serializing null fields to self-closed tag configurable

The current implementation serializes null fields as an empty self-closed tag <Tag/>

Make this behavior configurable, by not including the tag if it's field contains null. Exception to this rule would be when the tag does contain a attribute then it should be included in the serialized document <Tag attribute="123"/>

xjx-serdes: Add record support when serializing to XML

xjx-serdes: Add record support when deserializing

Move documentation externally

Failing at parsing multiple collections

I'm having issues parsing an XML file with this structure

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
   <foo name="A"/>
  <foo name="B"/>
			 
  <bar name="X">
    <info val="InfoValX1"/>
    <info val="InfoValX2"/>
</bar>
<bar name="Z">
    <info val="InfoValZ1"/>
</bar>
</manifest>

I set up a JUnit test too to reproduce the issue

public class XjXTests {

	@Test
	void testMultipleListsDeserialization() {
		String data = """
			<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
			<manifest>
			 <foo name="A"/>
			 <foo name="B"/>
			 
			 <bar name="X">
			     <info val="InfoValX1"/>
			     <info val="InfoValX2"/>
			 </bar>
			 <bar name="Z">
			     <info val="InfoValZ1"/>
			 </bar>
			</manifest>
			""";
		XjxSerdes xjx = new XjxSerdes();
		Manifest manifest = xjx.read(data, Manifest.class);

		System.out.println(manifest.foos);
		System.out.println(manifest.bars);

		assertNotNull(manifest.foos);
		assertNotNull(manifest.bars);
	}

	private static class Manifest {
		@Tag(path = "/manifest", items = "foo")
		private List<Foo> foos;

		@Tag(path = "/manifest", items = "bar")
		private List<Bar> bars;
	}

	private static class Foo {
		@Tag(path = "/manifest/foo", attribute = "name")
		private String name;
	}

	private static class Bar {
		@Tag(path = "/manifest/bar", attribute = "name")
		private String name;

		@Tag(path = "/manifest/bar", items = "info")
		private List<Info> infos;
	}

	private static class Info {
		@Tag(path = "/manifest/bar/info", attribute = "val")
		private String val;
	}
}

There are actually two issues.

1. The foos List is null. This is because of the bug (?), I believe XJX fails at parsing multiple collections on the same level
2. The bars List is empty, but this is probably an error on my side on defining the model classes. Sorry, it's my first day using your library, and I'm trying to figure out how it works, what it can do
