Class XmlMarcWriter


  • public class XmlMarcWriter
    extends Object

    Provides a driver for MarcXmlHandler to convert MARCXML to MARC tape format (ISO 2709) either by providing a MARCXML document or by pre-processing a different XML format by using an XSLT stylesheet that outputs a well-formed MARCXML document.

    For usage, run from the command-line with the following command:

    java org.marc4j.util.XmlMarcWriter -usage

    A note about character encodings:
    If no output encoding is specified on the command-line the default charset is used. To specify an output encoding use a charset name supported by your Java virtual machine. For input MARC4J relies on the encoding in the XML declaration and the underlying SAX2 XML parser implementation. The following command-line example converts UTF-8 to ANSEL:

     java org.marc4j.util.XmlMarcWriter -convert ANSEL -oe ISO8859_1  -out output.mrc input.xml
     

    Note: the Latin-1 encoding (ISO8859_1) is used since ANSEL is not a supported character encoding.

    Note: this class requires a JAXP compliant SAX2 parser. For W3C XML Schema support a JAXP 1.2 compliant parser is needed.

    Check the home page for MARCXML for more information about the MARCXML format.
