Data2XML

Data2XML is a quick JAXB-based tool for parsing simple-to-moderately-complex input data into a flat XML representation. It is meant to replace simple String.substring() operations and keyword searches in Java by an easy-to-use XML-configured parser. It is initialized with an XML configuration file that dictates the parsing rules, and can then be used to convert an input data stream into XML. It can search for the occurrence of certain substrings and cut the data into smaller "Tokens" using various conditions like offset definitions. After a value is read, it can be validated against a set of OR- and AND-connected tests that check for the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain strings, check values, etc.
