A fully native, multiplatform XML format add-on for Kotlin Serialization.
Status: This project is in the early stages of development, so isn't yet feature complete.
Kotlin Serialization XML provides an Xml
format for Kotlin Serialization, allowing you to use the
standard @Serializable
annotation to create reflectionless, multiplatform serializers for your Kotlin
classes.
@Serializable
data class Greeting(
@XmlAttribute val from: String,
@XmlAttribute val to: String,
val message: Message
)
@Serializable
data class Message(
@XmlContent val content: String
)
val xml = """
<Greeting from="Ryan" to="Bill">
<message>Hi</message>
</Greeting>
""".trimIndent()
val actual = Xml.Default.decodeFromString<Greeting>(xml)
By default, all properties are encoded as nested XML elements.
To encode properties as attributes, they must be annotated with @XmlAttribute
. All @XmlAttribute
annotated properties must come before other properties in an object.
After the attributes, properties will be encoded as nested elements, but can also be encoded as
bare string content by annotating the property with @XmlContent
.
Development versions are available in Sonatype's snapshot repository.
