PrettyPrinter for Serializing Xml With Scales

[Marko D]

Is there something like PrettyPrinter for serializing Xml With Scales ?

I know that I can get a scala.xml.Node and use scala.xml.PrettyPrinter, but I was wondering if there is something that I can use with scales.xml.WriteTo.

Hi Mark,

Scales works very nicely with TrAX, so the standard approach works here too:

import scales.xml._
import ScalesXml._

val elem = Elem("trax"l)
val doc = Doc(<(elem) /( <(elem) ~> "value" ))

import javax.xml.transform._
val trax = TransformerFactory.
newInstance.newTransformer

// pretty printing
trax.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes")
trax.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2")

val wr = new java.io.StringWriter()
val str = new stream.StreamResult(wr)
trax.transform(doc, str)

println(wr.toString)

its possible on a non apache dom that other properties must be used.
For jdk7 the above runs directly via StAX and doesn't need
intermediate conversions, on 1.6 it however does.

Cheers,
Chris

More than welcome:

https://gist.github.com/chris-twiner/4742571

contains an indenting SerializerFactory that wraps other actual
serializers. I may aim to put that into the actual release. It
doesn't do normalisation of text but its not bad for an hour or so of
fiddling :)
