Whether my database this XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mots>
<mot>
<nom>iatrogène</nom>
<racine>gène</racine>
</mot>
<mot>
<nom>hippiatre</nom>
<racine>hippo</racine>
</mot>
</mots>
The only easy way to have JSON serialization with BaseX is to use the
"format=jsonml" option which returns:
["mots",
["mot",
["nom",
"iatrogène"],
["racine",
"gène"]],
["mot",
["nom",
"hippiatre"],
["racine",
"hippo"]]]
This output is not at all what I need, and think I'm not the only one
in this case.
A quick search on Google give us simple online tools which have an
useful output:
http://codebeautify.org/xmltojson
{
"mots": {
"mot": [
{
"nom": "iatrogène",
"racine": "gène"
},
{
"nom": "hippiatre",
"racine": "hippo"
}
]
}
}
http://www.utilities-online.info/xmltojson
{
"mots": {
"mot": [
{
"nom": "iatrogène",
"racine": "gène"
},
{
"nom": "hippiatre",
"racine": "hippo"
}
]
}
}
Could we have this "easyjson" option in BaseX ? I know that it has not
at all the power of lossless conversion from JSON to XML and back,
like the "direct" and "attributes" options, but who really cares ?
I really think it's what most users need today to use BaseX with
client side JSON oriented frameworks.
