This example assumes the following class is already on your CLASSPATH:
XmlExamples.groovy
class XmlExamples {
static def CAR_RECORDS = '''
<records>
<car name='HSV Maloo' make='Holden' year='2006'>
<country>Australia</country>
<record type='speed'>Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph</record>
</car>
<car name='P50' make='Peel' year='1962'>
<country>Isle of Man</country>
<record type='size'>Smallest Street-Legal Car at 99cm wide and 59 kg in weight</record>
</car>
<car name='Royale' make='Bugatti' year='1931'>
<country>France</country>
<record type='price'>Most Valuable Car at $15 million</record>
</car>
</records>
'''
}
Here is an example of using XOM with Groovy to process an existing XML file:
// require(groupId:'xom', artifactId:'xom', version:'1.1') import nu.xom.Builder def reader = new StringReader(XmlExamples.CAR_RECORDS) def records = new Builder().build(reader).rootElement messages = [] def processCar(car) { def make = car.getAttribute('make').value def country = car.getFirstChildElement('country').value def type = car.getFirstChildElement('record').getAttribute('type').value messages << make + ' of ' + country + ' has a ' + type + ' record' } def cars = records.childElements (0..<cars.size()).each{ processCar(cars.get(it)) } assert messages == [ 'Holden of Australia has a speed record', 'Peel of Isle of Man has a size record', 'Bugatti of France has a price record' ]
