4. java -cp target/xml-avro*.jar ly.stealth.xmlavro.simple.Converter avro // convert xml to avro
5. java -cp target/xml-avro*.jar ly.stealth.xmlavro.simple.Converter xml // convert avro to xml

Schema-based converter

Usage:

XML Avro converter.
Usage: "{-d|--debug} {-b|--baseDir <baseDir>} <xsdFile> <xmlFile> {<avscFile>} {<avroFile>}"

Restrictions

Schema-based converter currently only supports conversion in one direction: from xml to avro.

Converter has following restriction:

• xml docs with multiple namespaces are not supported;
• complex type extensions are not supported;

Simple converter

Usage:

{avro|xml} <inFile> <outFile>

Note: simple converter uses predefined general avro schema located at src/ly/stealth/xmlavro/simple/xml.avsc
