Java SuperConverter. Convert YAML / TOML / CSV / TSV / TOON / TSON / XML to any format!
Java SuperConverter. Convert YAML / TOML / CSV / TSV / TOON / TSON / XML to any format!
/*
* UniversalDataConverter.java
* A comprehensive Java class providing bidirectional conversion between six text-based formats:
* YAML, TOML, CSV, TSV, TOON, TSON, and XML. Supports arbitrary nested data via a universal
* intermediate representation (Map<String, Object>, List<Object>).
*
* Dependencies (Maven):
* <dependency>
* <groupId>org.yaml</groupId>
* <artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
* <version>2.2</version>
* </dependency>
* <dependency>
* <groupId>com.moandjiezana.toml</groupId>
* <artifactId>toml</artifactId>
* <version>2.0.0</version>

* </dependency>
* <dependency>
* <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
* <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
* <version>2.3.8</version>
* </dependency>
*
* All 42 methods (85–126) are fully implemented and handle nested structures.

users:
- name: Alice
details:
age: 30
hobbies: [reading, coding]
- name: Bob

Features
- 42 Conversion Methods (85–126) fully implemented.
- Full Nested Data Support using
Map<String, Object>andList<Object>. - TOON & TSON custom parsers with schema-aware array handling.
- CSV/TSV use path notation (
user[0].name) for nested fields. - XML uses standard DOM with pretty printing.
- Thread-Safe and Zero External Config beyond Maven deps.
