Should [Note by Darius]
We're not officially supporting XML yet, so we're getting some default Spring + XStream functionality.
Particularly, XStream's handler for Map doesn't recognize that our SimpleObject extends LinkedHashMap. It's possible that just addressing this would make the output "good enough".
[/Note by Darius]
The serialization of SimpleObject produces a lot of useless information: the parameters of the list and of the hash map, etc. It also produces name/value pairs on successive lines that require counting. It would be nice to have something more like this:
<SimpleObject type="obs"> <string name="uuid">c0b2532f-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf</string> <string name="display">ANTIRETROVIRAL USE = true</string> <SimpleObject type="person" name="person"> <string name="uuid">dd7f9e40-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf</string> <string name="display">Date Mely Kibiwot</string> <Hyperlink name="links" anchor="self"> http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/person/dd7f9e40-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf </Hyperlink> </SimpleObject> <SimpleObject type="concept" name="concept"> <string name="uuid">be4cb396-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf</string> <string name="display">ANTIRETROVIRAL USE</string> <Hyperlink name="links" anchor="self"> http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/concept/be4cb396-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf </Hyperlink> </SimpleObject> <string name="value" type="Boolean">true</string> <string name="obsDateTime" type="Timestamp">2006-02-06T00:00:00.000-0500</string> <string name="accessionNumber" /> <string name="obsGroup" /> <List name="groupMembers" /> <SimpleObject type="location" name="location"> <string name="uuid">8d6c993e-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f</string> <string name="display">Unknown location</string> <Hyperlink name="links" anchor="self"> http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/location/8d6c993e-c2cc-11de-8d13-0010c6dffd0f </Hyperlink> </SimpleObject> <SimpleObject type="order" /> <SimpleObject type="encounter" name="encounter"> <string name="uuid">bf219b7c-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf</string> <string name="display">ADULTRETURN 06/02/2006</string> <Hyperlink name="links" anchor="self"> http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/encounter/bf219b7c-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf </Hyperlink> </SimpleObject> <string name="voided" type="Boolean">false</string> <Hyperlink name="links" anchor="self"> http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/obs/c0b2532f-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf </Hyperlink> <Hyperlink name="links" anchor="full"> http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/obs/c0b2532f-1691-11df-97a5-7038c432aabf?v=full </Hyperlink> </SimpleObject>
