Class MarcXmlDriver

java.lang.Object

org.marc4j.util.MarcXmlDriver

public class MarcXmlDriver
extends Object

Provides a basic driver to convert MARC records to MARCXML. Output is encoded in UTF-8.

The following example reads input.mrc and writes output to the console:

     java org.marc4j.util.MarcXmlDriver input.mrc
 

The following example reads input.mrc, converts MARC-8 and writes output in UTF-8 to output.xml:

     java org.marc4j.util.MarcXmlDriver -convert MARC8 -out output.xml input.mrc
 

It is possible to post-process the result using an XSLT stylesheet. The following example converts MARC to MODS:

     java org.marc4j.util.MarcXmlDriver -convert MARC8 \
       -xsl http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/MARC21slim2MODS3.xsl \
       -out modsoutput.xml input.mrc
 

For usage, run from the command-line with the following command:

     java org.marc4j.util.MarcXmlDriver -usage
 

Check the home page for MARCXML for more information about the MARCXML format.
