Canonical XML

[_ian]

This code returns the canonical version of an XML document.

 

import javax.xml.crypto.*
import org.apache.xml.security.*
import org.apache.xml.security.c14n.*

if (inputXML!=null){

org.apache.xml.security.Init.init()

def XmlBytes = inputXML.getBytes("UTF-8") as byte[] 

canon = Canonicalizer.getInstance(Canonicalizer.ALGO_ID_C14N_OMIT_COMMENTS)
canonXmlBytes = canon.canonicalize(XmlBytes)
canonXmlString = new String(canonXmlBytes)
return canonXmlString

}

 

Hopefully someone else might find it useful.
