Hey folks! Does anyone have experience with SimpleXML? I'm trying to parse XML into an object but getting some errors.

[MarkRS]

Some. What's the question?

[Pascal Gerrist]

I’m getting an error that prevents my code to parse my xml to a class. This is the error: Unable to satisfy @org.simpleframework.xml.Element(name="LogischeRitDeelNummer", type=java.lang.String.class, data=false, required=true) on field 'LogischeRitDeelNummer' public java.lang.String io.gerrist.kotlintrain.parsers.LogischeRitDeel.LogischeRitDeelNummer for class io.gerrist.kotlintrain.parsers.LogischeRitDeel at line 1

The relevant XML: Paste

And the classes: Paste

Those links don't show anything

[Pascal Gerrist]

Should be fixed right now @MarkRS

[MarkRS]

Yes. Hmm, in fact I've mostly dealt with simpleXML from PHP.
I would say there's a lot in that XML that doesn't seem to be in your classes, though.

[Pascal Gerrist]

I thought that XML that don’t have classes would just be ignored, as the error I receive has a different scoped error

[MarkRS]

I wouldn't think so. Particularly as the classes you've implemented are a level down. I might (easily) be wrong. With the Kotlin json deserialisation it can be told to ignore missing parts, perhaps that works here too? Otherwise I'm surprised if this works "as is".
