--------------------------------------
Hi [~pvillard],
for this reader I have not planned to require an XSD schema. My intention is
that it can be configured in the same way like readers of other formats. I
therefore translate Avro definitions to XML structures that are expected by the
reader. Generally, the reader expects an array containing zero, one or more
records. I use StAX as its pulling logic suits well to the record-lookup
requirement.
BTW: Do you have an idea which XML structure the reader could expect when users
define a map in their schema? Maybe something like this?
{code}
<root>
<record>
<mapfield>
<entry>
<key>content</key>
<value>content or object</value>
</entry>
<entry>
...
<mapfield/>
<record/>
</root>
{code}
> Add XML record reader & writer services
