Is reactive marshaling xml to java object possible?

Question

Java

I make a request for a certain service that we give me very slowly large xml
I need to start reading and converting some xml elements into java objects through Jaxb without waiting for the full response of the document and perform some operations with them
How can I do this with reactive spring and is it possible ?

Answer 1

you can try to get the io stream of the response, feed it to the stax parser, and when "some elements" arrive, feed the stream to the jaxb unmarshaller.
