XML Support
XML Support
Akka HTTP's marshalling and unmarshalling infrastructure makes it rather easy to seamlessly support specific wire representations of your data objects, like JSON, XML or even binary encodings.
For XML Akka HTTP currently provides support for Scala XML right out of the box through it's
akka-http-xml module.
Scala XML Support
The ScalaXmlSupport trait provides a FromEntityUnmarshaller[NodeSeq] and ToEntityMarshaller[NodeSeq] that
you can use directly or build upon.
This is how you enable support for (un)marshalling from and to JSON with Scala XML NodeSeq:
- Add a library dependency onto
"com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-http-xml-experimental" % "1.x". import akka.http.scaladsl.marshallers.xml.ScalaXmlSupport._or mix in theakka.http.scaladsl.marshallers.xml.ScalaXmlSupporttrait.
Once you have done this (un)marshalling between XML and NodeSeq instances should work nicely and transparently.
