Assume the element
<foo:bar xmlns='namespace' xmlns:foo='foo-namespace'/>
then the <bar/> element's namespace is 'foo-namespace', but the
default namespace is 'namespace'. And this is the namespace that
scopes into inner elements.
Smack currently does unnecessary escaping of XML text, where it
escapes e.g. '"' to '"'. This bloats the stanza size, especially
if JSON payloads are involved.
Fixes SMACK-892 (although there are probably still places where
XmlStringBuilder.escape() is used when XmlStringBuild.text() could
have been used).
This means that users get now exceptions with helpful error messages
instead of the dreaded ClassCastException, like
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.StandardExtensionElement cannot be cast to org.jivesoftware.smackx.mam.element.MamElements$MamResultExtension
at
when StanzaView.getExtension(Class) is used to retrieve the extension.
This method was removed with 07da9ffb4 ("Do not have
Stanza.getExtension(String, String) return a generic type"). In order
to aide migration to the newer API, this commit re-adds the method and
marks it as deprecated.
Ensure that he returned extension element is actually of the correct
type. It should not be common, but in theory, Smack's provider
architecture would allow for different types to be returned than the
ones one may expect.
Returning a generic would allow for
List<ExtensionElement> list = stanza.getExtension("foo", "bar");
to compile (Note the we are calling getExtension(), not
getExtension*s*()).
Users are encouraged to use the type safe getExtension(Class<? extends
ExtensionElement) variant instead.
Fixes SMACK-825.
- Reduce the amount of types that are subtypes of NamedElement. See
javadoc of NamedElement for rationale.
- Work more with XmlEnvironment in XmlStringBuilder.
- Some minor changes to XmlStringBuilder API.
Introducing Smack's own XmlPullParser interface which tries to stay as
compatible as possible to XPP3. The interface is used to either wrap
StAX's XMLStreamReader if Smack is used on Java SE, and XPP3's
XmlPullParser if Smack is used on on Android.
Fixes SMACK-591.
Also introduce JUnit 5 and non-strict javadoc projects.
