Persistence - piotrpdev/notes-app GitHub Wiki

The app allows you to persist your notes using XML, JSON, or YAML.

XML is used by default, but you can change which one is used by switching the commented line in Main.kt:

private val noteAPI = NoteAPI(XMLSerializer(File("notes.xml")))
//private val noteAPI = NoteAPI(JSONSerializer(File("notes.json")))
//private val noteAPI = NoteAPI(YAMLSerializer(File("notes.yaml")))

• JSON - XStream (using JettisonMappedXmlDriver)
• YAML - Jackson (using YAMLMapper)

Since the only thing being stored is an ArrayList of notes, the files usually turn out pretty simple:
