2.34. Using Characters Not Allowed in XML when Processing YAML Data

  • You can use characters in the key name that are not allowed in the XML element name. The reader offers multiple solutions to this problem. It can search and replace white spaces, illegal characters and the number in key names that start with a number. You can configure it to replace one key name with a completely different one, as shown below: 
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<smooks-resource-list xmlns="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd" xmlns:yaml="http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks/yaml-1.4.xsd">
 
    <yaml:reader keyWhitspaceReplacement="_" keyPrefixOnNumeric="n" illegalElementNameCharReplacement=".">
        <yaml:keyMap>
            <yaml:key from="some key">someKey</yaml:key>
            <yaml:key from="some&key" to="someAndKey" />
        </yaml:keyMap>
    </yaml:reader>
