Re: [Simple-support] Deserialize a list of objects from one XML

[Niall G. <gal...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am afraid this is a StAX problem. So it all depends on the StAX implementation you use. Some StAX parsers will read the whole file and find that it is not valid, others may not. Simple does not deal with the stream directly.

You can write to a single file. But reading multiple XML serializations from a single file will depend on how stax does it.
