Provide Jackson compatibility about xmlutil HOT 5 CLOSED

I just learned that using

@Serializable data class Team(@XmlSerialName("members", "", "") val members: List<Person>, val colors: List<String> = listOf())

will produce the same output as Jackson. Thus, this is solved (with downside that I would have to repeat the parameter name). I still would like to get this w/o adding all the annotations.

The library was designed to provide a "natural" XML experience. In line with XML schema it is the type that provides the tag name, not the property of the tag. However, these are fundamentally choices. I would be open for pull requests that would make this behaviour configurable.

I've just released a version that uses a "policy" object to configure serialization. You may want to have a look at that. It would allow you to have a custom policy rather than using the annotations. Let me know if that works for you. I'll see at adding some more documentation for it as well. I may add a jackson compatibility policy to make it easier for people in your case. Btw. how does Jackson handle polymorphic values/lists?

I've added an example and documentation on how to use the policy to do this. Have a look: https://github.com/pdvrieze/xmlutil/blob/master/examples/JACKSON.md

It should solve your problem. I don't want to put this in the library proper as it isn't quite complete and may need a different approach for different cases.

Yes, that looks like a good approach. Thank you!
