Create Dynamic XML using Groovy & parameterize the arguments
I would like to create a dynamic xml where some of the nodes and their sub nodes repeat based on the number of times I want them to and then the values of each node elements need to be parameterized ...
Here is how you can do it using Groovy.
Since you have more data, you can put it in a text file as shown below:
name1, price1, description1, calories1 name2, price2, description2, calories2
And the Script goes here:
//Make sure you pass the data.txt with absolute path in unix style def lines = new File('data.txt').readLines() def builder = new StreamingMarkupBuilder() builder.encoding = 'UTF-8' def xml = builder.bind { mkp.xmlDeclaration() //Use below line if you need name space as needed, remove otherwise namespaces << [ns:'http://example/break/fast'] breakfast_menu { day (new Date().format('EEE MMM d yyyy')) time( '08:00:00' ) lines.each { line -> def data = line.split(',')*.trim() food { name (data[0]) price (data[1]) description (data[2]) calories (data[3]) } } } } def updatedXml = groovy.xml.XmlUtil.serialize(xml)
log.info updatedXmlOutput
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <breakfast_menu xmlns:ns="http://example/break/fast"> <day>Thu Apr 27 2017</day> <time>08:00:00</time> <food> <name>name1</name> <price>price1</price> <description>description1</description> <calories>calories1</calories> </food> <food> <name>name2</name> <price>price2</price> <description>description2</description> <calories>calories2</calories> </food> </breakfast_menu>
