Support XML-based input files

[ivanperez-keera]

Description

There is a need in Ogma to support XML-based input files, since this is produced by many standard tools in the industry. Like with JSON, we want users to be able to customize the input format via a command-line flag, so that users can work with XML-based files whose format is previously unknown to Ogma without having to modify the tool.

Type

• Feature: new capability.

Additional context

None.

Requester

• Ivan Perez.

Method to check presence of bug

Not applicable (not a bug).

Expected result

Ogma is able to process and extract data from an input file in XML, obtaining information from a configuration file provided by the user.

Desired result

Ogma is able to process and extract data from an input file in XML, obtaining information from a configuration file provided by the user.

Proposed solution

Introduce a parsing library for XML files, and use it in ogma-core to parse input files when the user specifies that the format is XML-based.

Further notes

None.
