XStream - Convertitore personalizzato

XStream consente di scrivere un convertitore da zero, in modo che lo sviluppatore possa scrivere un'implementazione completamente nuova su come serializzare un oggetto in XML e viceversa. Un'interfaccia del convertitore fornisce tre metodi:

  • canConvert - È un controllo per la serializzazione del tipo di oggetto supportato.

  • marshal - Serializza un oggetto in XML.

  • unmarshal - De-serializza un oggetto da XML.

Passaggio 1: implementare l'interfaccia del convertitore

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;
   }
}

Passaggio 2: registrare il convertitore

xstream.registerConverter(new StudentConverter());

Proviamo ora a testare il codice con il convertitore in XStream.

Crea un file di classe java denominato XStreamTester in C:\>XStream_WORKSPACE\com\tutorialspoint\xstream.
