Betwixt Question (Mixed Content)

["Fathman, Abraham" <Ab...@53.com>]

I'm trying to use betwixt to read xml that looks like.

<foo x="5" y="10>
	<bar a="1" b="2">data</bar>
</foo>

See how properties are handled as attributes except for the body of <bar>.

Is there a way that I can do this with betwixt?

I was able to use a nightly build to write xml in this format however I
haven't been able to successfully read it back in. 

I have been looking through the source and I don't think this feature has
been coded yet. Does anyone know? (If not maybe I can add it)

Thanks,

hi Abraham

round tripping mixed content is indeed on the to-do list. i'm very, very 
busy at the moment. (the long-promised advanced type conversion is nearly 
completed but i'm going to need some more time to finish it off and 
document,) so it'd be great if you could contribute mixed content reading 
code.

there are some wrinkles with general round tripping mixed content. 
(consider the case when two properties both write unstructured content - 
that would have to be parsed somehow.) so i'd suggest that you concentrate 
on the most common use case - when only one property is mapped to the 
content.

if you fancy giving this a go, then i'll do my best to answer any 
questions you have.
