A very simple XML parser loosely binding text into the given Java class structure.

Written byzencd. Java7+.

• Parsing done by a Java model, no annoytations needed
• XML may come in different (free) forms but it gonna be parsed anyway

public static class CarXml {    public String color;    public List<Wheel> wheel;    public static class Wheel {        public String name;    }}

Setting a Java property could be done via an XML attribute, but also via a dedicated tag:

<root color='red'/><root>    <color>red</color></root>

The full form:

<root>    <wheels>        <wheel name='one'/>        <wheel name='two'/>    </wheels></root>

Without the parent<wheels> it works too:

<root>  <wheel name='one'/>  <wheel name='two'/></root>

A special tag<item> automatically recognized as a<wheel> being inside a collection:

<root>    <wheels>        <item name='one'/>    </wheels></root>

You may also mix all the approaches.

CarXml root = FreeFormXmlParser.parse(CarXml.class, xmlContent);

Also refer to tests likeFreeFormXmlParserTest.

• Bind properties likesome-prop to Java, and tag names also
• Be able to bind 'NaMe' to 'NamE' (any forms)
