Work in Progress

Please note that this is still work in progress!, although quite stable and used in production.

TikXML

A fast xml parser for android (and java)

implementation 'com.tickaroo.tikxml:annotation:0.8.15'
implementation 'com.tickaroo.tikxml:core:0.8.15'

annotationProcessor 'com.tickaroo.tikxml:processor:0.8.15'

For pure java project use this apt plugin

For koltin project (android or pure) use kotlin-kapt plugin and use kapt instead of annotationProcessor in dependencies section of build.gradle.

(NOTE: In IDEA for non-android project this won't run annotation processor if you didn't set project to delegate build to gradle)

For retrofit2:

implementation 'com.tickaroo.tikxml:retrofit-converter:0.8.15'

Also, an AutoValue extension is available:

annotationProcessor 'com.tickaroo.tikxml:auto-value-tikxml:0.8.15'

Latest snapshot 0.9.0_11-SNAPSHOT available:

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  maven {
    url 'http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'
  }
}

Documentation

The documentation (<= 0.8.x) can be found here

The documentation (>= 0.9.x) can be found here

Benchmark

We did benchmark on this early version of TikXml to compare field's results with other popular xml parsers like SimpleXml and Jackson. TikXml is working around 1,9 times faster than jackson and 4,3 times faster than SimpleXml by also having a low memory footprint:

TikXml has been built on top of Okio and therefore is highly optimized for Retrofit2.
