[xstream-scm] [jira] (XSTR-76) Don't serialize fields with default values

Steven Swor commented on New Feature XSTR-76

It seems like annotations could provide a solution, at least for primitives, Strings, and collections. Something like this, perhaps?

class Person {
    @XStreamDefaultValue("5")
    private int age;

    @XStreamDefaultValue("Fred")
    private String name;

    @XStreamDefaultValue("false")
    private boolean likesBunnies;

    @XStreamDefaultCollection(XStreamDefaultCollectionType.EMPTY_LIST)
    private List<Person> friends;
}

The use case I'm thinking of is more applicable to dealing with hand-written XML, or at least XML that wasn't written by XStream. Like when migrating a legacy application's codebase to using XStream instead of maintaining its own XML handling code.
