Simple convert XML to JSON?

[Magnus Palmér <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to read a xml-file via the file component and I split and filter
the result and then change the dataformat from XML to JSON before sending it
out with the file component again.
I just can't seem to find a solution using Google or in my Camel In Action
book.
(My real world xml is totally different, but using a simple  xml without
namespace for prototyping).

Input xml:
*<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root><a><id>1</id></a><a><id>2</id></a></root>

*My route:
*from("file:src/data/simple?noop=true").tracing()
   .split(xpath("/root/a")).filter(xpath("/a/id[.='1']"))
   .convertBodyTo(String.class).marshal()
   .json(JsonLibrary.Jackson)
   .to("file:target/messages?fileName=id1.json");*

Wanted output.json:
{a:{id:1}}

Result using Jackson:
"<a><id>1</id></a>"

(without the convertBodyTo: "<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"UTF-16\"?>\n<a><id>1</id></a>")

Result using Xstream instead (and adding .convertBodyTo(String.class) before
marshalling)
{"string":"<a><id>1<\/id><\/a>"}

Seems as if I am missing some fundamental understanding of how things work?
How can I get my XML to be recognized as XML (which obviously the split and
xpath do)?

You might want to take a look at
https://github.com/upictec/JsonTypeConverter and
https://github.com/upictec/JsonDataFormat, which are surely going to welcome
your feedback and/or participation too. Thanks.

I decided to model the domain object described by the schema and using Jaxb
annotations it worked fine to marshal it to Json the way I wanted.

Still I am curious about how to easily convert a simple xml file to json so
that one xml element or attribute gets a one to one relationship with json.
Right usage of type converters?
