#### XML parsing, serialization XPath querying and transformation without boilerplate code

## Features

* Simple, fluent API but full flexibility

* Parse from java.io inputs to org.w3c.dom.Document

* Serialize org.w3c.dom.Document to any java.io output

* Transform from java.io, SAX, StAX, JAXB input to any of them

  with XSLT and custom filters support

* Query org.w3c.dom.Document via XPath for String, Boolean, Number, org.w3c.dom.Element or Node,

  get the results as collections or process with the Java 8 Streaming API

* Validate document against schemas

* No (required) dependencies

## Requirements

FluentXML4J uses the builtin JDK XML parser and XPath API, but Java 8 is required because of streaming API and Optional support.

## Maven Dependency

```

  com.github.fluentxml4j

  fluentxml4j-core

  2.2.1

```

## Examples

### Parsing

```

Document doc = parse(getClass().getResourceAsStream("example.xml"))

    .document();

```

[More parsing examples...](doc/examples/parsing-examples.md)

### Serialization

```

serialize(document).to(System.err);

```

[More serialization examples...](doc/examples/serialization-examples.md)

### Transformation

```

Document resultDoc = transform(inputDoc)

        .withStylesheet(xsltInputStream)

        .toDocument();

```

[More transformation examples...](doc/examples/transformation-examples.md)

### XPath Querying

```

List elements = from(doc)

    .selectElements("//*")

    .asList();

```

[More xpath examples...](doc/examples/xpath-examples.md)
