XML Attribute Names are converted to lower case, where they should stay as in the original input

Hello,

in my current project I stumbled on this curious behaviour:

We use the following version of JSoup:

<dependency> <groupId>org.jsoup</groupId> <artifactId>jsoup</artifactId> <version>1.7.2</version> </dependency>

@Test
public void testJsoupAttributeNameCamelCase() {

        String xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no'?>" 
                              + "<rootNode attributeName='someValue' />";
        Document doc = Jsoup.parse(xml, "", Parser.xmlParser());
        Element root = doc.getElementsByTag("rootNode").get(0);
        Attribute first = root.attributes().asList().get(0);

        assertTrue("someValue".equals(first.getValue())); // pass
        assertTrue("attributeName".equals(first.getKey())); // fail
    }

Please have a look at this issue.

Thank you and kind regards Edgar

This really is frustrating for an otherwise great library. Zazi seems to have provided a ready to use solution. Is there any reason why it has not been merged yet?

I have implemented a new feature ParseSettings, which allows the user to preserve tag and/or attribute name case at parse (and therefore output) time. For XML it defaults to preserving case, and lower case for HTML parsing.

Thanks for everyone’s feedback and contributions.
