Differences between XStreamAsAttribute, useAttributeFor and aliasAttribute, in XStream












0















I was reading the documentation and looking some examples about using XStream library with XML that uses attributes, but I am a little bit confused about the differences between those three:





  1. @XStreamAsAttribute annotation (Annotations Tutorial and documentation);


  2. useAttributeFor method (Alias Tutorial and documentation)


  3. aliasAttribute method (documentation).


It seems that using @XStreamAsAttribute annotation is the way to go for defining attributes in a class, but then, what's the use for useAttributeFor method? Is it useful just when you can't change the class annotation?



And what about aliasAttribute method? Is it just for giving a different name to an attribute?





Some links that I saw, with examples:




  • Java XStream - Complex Example - Programmer's lounge

  • XStream - Handling Attributes in XML - StudyTrails

  • XStream Attribute Aliasing - Tutorials Point
