---------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Implement a JSON/Java-to-XML mapping tool to auto-generate gora-*-mapping.xml
> files

> Key: GORA-236
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-236
> Project: Apache Gora
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: avro, build process, gora-core, maven, schema
> Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
> Assignee: Lewis John McGibbney
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.0

> The idea here is to lower the barrier for entry for folks wishing to get up
> and running with Gora.
> Currently when pulling Gora Maven artifacts, the confiuguration process is
> 'usually' as follows
> * write your gora.properties file
> * write your .avsc which effectively determines your data and persistence
> model and storage characteristics
> * generate your data store specific
> gora-${insert_data_store_here}-mapping.xml file
> I think it would be real nice if we could provide a data modelling tool which
> effectively can run within the GoraCompiler phase of the data modelling and
> persistent code generation phase of the Gora lifecycle.
> Effectively what this would require is some tool which would compliment the
> GoraCompiler and would auto generate a template for your mapping file with
> default attributes, values, etc.
> I think (and hope) that such a tool would enable us to lower the barrier
> further for new folk wish to use Gora within their pipeline to persist data
> somewhere.
> On my travels, I came across Xstream [0], which (AFAIK) reads JSON and
> produces XML. Maybe this could be utilized to achieve the above.
