Shadow.Quack.Xml

Shadow Quack XML

This package allows the easy population of values directly from a XML string to a dynamically implemented immutable interface with the help of the base Shadow Quack package.

This means that there is almost no effort in deserialising from XML to an interface with no need for concrete implementations or additional code.

Dictionary Example

public interface IWithSimpleDictionary 
{
    public IDictionary<int, string> TestDic { get; }
}

XmlProxy source = @"
<xml>
  <TestDic>
    <Item>
      <Key>1</Key>
      <Value>One</Value>
    </Item>
    <Item>
      <Key>2</Key>
      <Value>Two</Value>
    </Item>
  </TestDic>
</xml>";
var target = Duck.Implement<IWithSimpleDictionary>(source);

Examples

Interface

public interface ITestTarget
{ 
    public IAddress Address { get; }
    public ITestTargetSub Sub { get; }
    public ICustomer Customer { get; }
    public string Name { get;  }
    public int Number { get;  }
    public IEnumerable<string> Hobbies { get; }
    public IEnumerable<ITestTargetSub> Subs { get; }
    public IEnumerable<IAddress> Addresses { get; }
    public IEnumerable<int> Ids { get; }
}

public interface ITestTargetSub
{
    string Name { get; }
}

public interface IAddress
{
}

public interface ICustomer
{
    IEmployment Employment { get; }
    string CustomerType { get; }
}

public interface IEmployment
{
    string Employer { get; }
}

IEnumerable Example

XmlProxy source = @"
<xml>
  <Name>NameValue</Name>
  <number>10</number>
  <Hobbies>
    <Item>Item1</Item>
    <Item>item2</Item>
  </Hobbies>
</xml>";
var target = Duck.Implement<ITestTarget>(source);

IEnumerable<T> Example

XmlProxy source = @"
<xml>
  <Name>NameValue</Name>
  <number>10</number>
  <Subs>
    <Item>
      <Name>Value1</Name>
    </Item>
    <Item>
      <Name>Value2</Name>
    </Item>
  </Subs>
</xml>";
var target = Duck.Implement<ITestTarget>(source);

Sub Interface Example

XmlProxy source = @"
<xml>
  <Name>NameValue</Name>
  <number>10</number>
  <Customer>
    <CustomerType>Value2</CustomerType>
    <Employment>
      <Employer>Employer</Employer>
    </Employment>
  </Customer>
</xml>";
var target = Duck.Implement<ITestTarget>(source);
