Using org.json and, crucially, JSONArray rather than JSONObject, managed to, seemingly at least, get XML output through Twitter4J. However, it shows as:
The Markup In The Document Following The Root Element Must Be Well-formed., Line '1', Column '98'.
The Markup In The Document Following The Root Element Must Be Well-formed.
When validation is attempted.
It does, however, have at least the appearance of XML.
Assuming that BaseX will wrangle the XML sufficiently, I'm looking to add the document to a database as:
new Open(databaseName).execute(context);
for (int i = 0; i < tweets.length(); i++) {
jsonStringTweet = tweets.get(i).toString();
jsonObjectTweet = new org.json.JSONObject(jsonStringTweet);
stringXml = XML.toString(jsonObjectTweet);
log.info(stringXml);
new Add(null, stringXml).execute(context);
}
With reference to:
Constructor Detail
Add public Add(java.lang.String path) Constructor, specifying a target path. The input needs to be set via Command.setInput(InputStream). Parameters: path - target path, optionally terminated by a new file name Add public Add(java.lang.String path, java.lang.String input) Constructor, specifying a target path and an input. Parameters: path - target path, optionally terminated by a new file name. If null, the name of the input will be set as path. input - input file or XML string
However, I don't quite follow the requirements. The input seems to say that it will work with an XML string, which, presumably is what is being passed. Is that the correct way to add XML to a database?
