Interface XmlNameProcessor

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface XmlNameProcessor
extends Serializable

API of processors primarily used for dealing with XML names containing invalid characters. Invalid characters in names can, for instance, easily appear in map keys.

Processors should be set in the XmlMapper.setXmlNameProcessor(com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlNameProcessor) and/or the XmlMapper.Builder.xmlNameProcessor(com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlNameProcessor) methods.

See XmlNameProcessors for default processors.
