Patch Set 6: (1 comment) https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/#/c/1269/6/asterixdb/asterix-external-data/src/main/java/org/apache/asterix/external/parser/XMLFileParser.java File asterixdb/asterix-external-data/src/main/java/org/apache/asterix/external/parser/XMLFileParser.java: Line 48: JSONObject xmlObj = XML.toJSONObject(record.toString()); > Is there a description of this transformation somewhere? A quick google sea I found this in the org.json.XML documentation. Convert a well-formed (but not necessarily valid) XML string into a JSONObject. Some information may be lost in this transformation because JSON is a data format and XML is a document format. XML uses elements, attributes, and content text, while JSON uses unordered collections of name/value pairs and arrays of values. JSON does not does not like to distinguish between elements and attributes. Sequences of similar elements are represented as JSONArrays. Content text may be placed in a "content" member. Comments, prologs, DTDs, and <[ [ ]]> are ignored. One more thing is that I skipped the root element so that nested elements (mapped into attributes) are exposed in JSON object. -- To view, visit https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/1269 To unsubscribe, visit https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/settings Gerrit-MessageType: comment Gerrit-Change-Id: Ia36101a0761973a9edb96b42d3dcc117661301da Gerrit-PatchSet: 6 Gerrit-Project: asterixdb Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Owner: Xikui Wang <xkk...@gmail.com> Gerrit-Reviewer: Jenkins <jenk...@fulliautomatix.ics.uci.edu> Gerrit-Reviewer: Taewoo Kim <wangs...@yahoo.com> Gerrit-Reviewer: Till Westmann <ti...@apache.org> Gerrit-Reviewer: Xikui Wang <xkk...@gmail.com> Gerrit-Reviewer: abdullah alamoudi <bamou...@gmail.com> Gerrit-HasComments: Yes
