I think this approach may lead to some odd behaviors if the incoming XML is
actually namespace aware. For example, if an element looks like:
```
<ns:myElement xmlns:ns="urn:nifi"><child /></ns:myElement>
```
Then the name of the element in the schema would have to be "ns:myElement"
in order to match. But I think that's not what we want. Instead, in the schema,
I would want to use the name "myElement".
So I think the approach that I would use here instead would be to set
IS_NAMESPACE_AWARE to true. Then, when we have a StartElement object, instead
of calling StartElement.getName().toString() I would call
StartElement.getName().getLocalPart()
In that case, we would get "myElement" as the name of the outer element and
"child" as the name of the inner element. I.e., we would basically just ignore
the namespaces. In either case, it will be very important that we explain
clearly how this behaves in the documentation.
> Add XML record reader & writer services

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Andy LoPresto
> Assignee: Johannes Peter
> Priority: Major
> Labels: json, records, xml
>
> With the addition of the {{RecordReader}} and {{RecordSetWriter}} paradigm,
> XML conversion has not yet been targeted. This will replace the previous
> ticket for XML to JSON conversion.
