Hi Peoples,
I am just about finished the proof of concept of using TagSoup as a
DataFormat and as a component.
For those not familiar with TagSoup, it is a Java Library (APache 2.0
License) which converts poorly formatted Html
<html> <p> something
into well formed (xml) HTML. (not XHTML).
ie:
<html>
<body>
<p>something</p>
</body>
</html>
This is very helpful for a following reason.
<camelContext xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/camel/schema/spring";>
<route>
<from uri="direct:start"/>
<to uri="http://myserver.com/somequery?foo=1"/>
<unmarshal><wellFormedHtml/><unmarshal>
<to uri="xslt:file:///foo/bar.xsl"/>
<to .../>
</route>
</camelContext>
Questions:
Is this component helpful ? *Should I finish, I have not seen anything
like it in the toolkit yet)
*If continuing is a good idea, what should the "dataFormat" be called ?
ie the <wellFormedHtml/>
Am I unmarshalling or marshalling ? (we of course won't support going
the other way as good to bad html is just hard(er))
I figured it is <unmarshalling> as the <csv/> dataformat is similar, CSV
--> List<..> is ummarshalling.
cheers
