You could deserialize the xml into java-beans using jaxb.
but if i want to update the tag values, do i really need to deserialize from XML? e.g. i have <IBAN>123</IBAN>, and would like to have <IBAN>1234</IBAN>
You do not need beans for that. You could use jsoup having this code:
JSoup.parse(xml).select("IBAN").setText(1234);oh wow! thats very awesome thing. but i was wondering what are the negative sides of it? bc using jackson/jaxb thing, having pojo for the xml is more or less the standard approach (as i understand)
Well, you need a little experience about css-selectors. Plain backend-developers might never heard of css-selectors. Using the plain jaxb approach you are byte-true. JSoup does not support byte-trueness.
Jsoup for xml... Have to remember that 👍
can you rephrase? im not using selectors on my xml file
I am using a css-selector in
JSoup.parse(xml).select("IBAN").setText(1234);im trying to do how you showed me, but i dont have setText method
Ok, my fault. Try :
JSoup.parse(xml).select("IBAN").get(0).setText(1234);crap 😦
Try
Soup.parse(xml).select("IBAN").get(0).text("1234");or maybe this one?
No.
Soup.parse(xml).select("IBAN").get(0).text("1234");
seems fine
ill test it in a couple of mins
but it changes the value and thats it? i dont need to export or smth like that?
The contents in the file remains unchanged.
oh. how do i save the changes?
Try
How to read/write file contents is a different thing from this question. You could ask a second question how to save the xml to a file.
ok. i get
but for some reason its
iban, not IBANWhat is the filename in the variable xml?
File xml=new File("src/main/resources/accountStatementRequestBody.xml");
Document parsedXml=Jsoup.parse(xml);
System.out.println(parsedXml.select("IBAN").get(0).text("123"));
You print only the iban-node. Dont you like to print the whole xml?
yeah. but i see that iban node is not in capitals, i get worried lol
CSS itself is not case-sensitive.
ive tried googling but i cant find how to save contents to an xml file
