Class XmlMarcDriver

java.lang.Object

org.marc4j.util.XmlMarcDriver

public class XmlMarcDriver
extends Object

Provides a driver to convert MARCXML records to MARC format. The following example reads input.xml and writes output to the console:

       java org.marc4j.util.XmlMarcDriver input.xml
 

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

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

It is possible to pre-process the input file using an XSLT stylesheet. The transformation should produce valid MARCXML. The following example transforms a MODS file to MARCXML and outputs MARC records.

       java org.marc4j.util.XmlMarcDriver -convert MARC8 -out output.mrc \
         -xsl http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/xslt/MODS2MARC21slim.xsl modsfile.xml
 

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

       java org.marc4j.util.XmlMarcDriver -usage
 

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