类别名（Class Aliasing）

类别名用于在XML中创建类的完全限定名称的别名。 让我们修改我们的原始示例并将以下代码添加到其中。

xstream.alias("student", Student.class);
xstream.alias("note", Note.class);

让我们使用XStream测试上面对象的序列化。

在C:\》XStream_WORKSPACE\com\xnip\xstream创建名为XStreamTester的java类文件。

验证结果

使用javac编译器编译类如下 -

C:\XStream_WORKSPACE\com\xnip\xstream>javac XStreamTester.java

现在运行XStreamTester来查看结果 -

C:\XStream_WORKSPACE\com\xnip\xstream>java XStreamTester

验证输出如下 -

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<student>
   <studentName>Mahesh</studentName>
   <notes>
      <note>
         <title>first</title>
         <description>My first assignment.</description>
      </note>
      <note>
         <title>second</title>
         <description>My Second assignment.</description>
      </note>
   </notes>
</student>

在上面的结果中，我们可以看到studentName需要重命名为name。 要替换它，请按照下一节进行操作。
