Load XML document with options Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Conversion provides XmlLoadOptions to give you control over how the source XML document will be processed. The following options could be set:

The following code snippet shows how to use XML as a data source and convert it to a spreadsheet:

    XmlLoadOptions loadOptions = new XmlLoadOptions();
    loadOptions.setUseAsDataSource(true);

    Converter converter = new Converter("data.xml", () -> loadOptions);
    SpreadsheetConvertOptions options = new SpreadsheetConvertOptions();

    converter.convert("converted.xlsx", options);

The following code shows how to convert a XML transformed through XSLT to a PDF:

    XmlLoadOptions loadOptions = new XmlLoadOptions();
    loadOptions.setXslFoFactory(() -> {
        try {
            return new FileInputStream("books.xsl");
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            throw new RuntimeException(e);
        }
    });

    Converter converter = new Converter("books.xml", () -> loadOptions);
    
    PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
    converter.convert("converted.pdf", options);

External resources refer to data or content that is referenced or linked from within an XML document but is stored separately, typically in separate files or locations. Common external resources include DTDs or XML schemas, entities, XSLT Stylesheets, data sources, images, multimedia, and so on.

In some cases, you may want to skip loading all or just some of the external resources during the conversion. For example, when these resources become unavailable. Read the Skip loading of external resources article to learn how to do this with GroupDocs.Conversion for Java.
