XML Fragments
Some input XML data may be missing an XML declaration and root level enclosing elements. This data is not a valid XML document and must be treated as an XML fragment. To use XML fragments the input type for a translation must be set to ‘XML Fragment’. A fragment wrapper must be defined in the XML conversion that tells Stroom what declaration and root elements to place around the XML fragment data.
Here is an example:
<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE records [
<!ENTITY fragment SYSTEM "fragment">
]>
<records
xmlns="records:2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="records:2 file://records-v2.0.xsd"
version="2.0">
&fragment;
</records>
During conversion Stroom replaces the fragment text entity with the input XML fragment data. Note that XML fragments must still be well formed so that they can be parsed correctly.
