- de.pangaea.metadataportal.utils.XMLToKeyValuePairs

```
public final class XMLToKeyValuePairs
extends Object
```
Used to serialize Node from a DOM tree to an Object (mainly KeyValuePairs). This class cannot handle adjacent text nodes, so the DOM tree should be normalized first. Nodes that have child elements or mixed content with get transformed to KeyValuePairs, String only nodes with an xsi:type attribute get deserialized to the given type, String otherwise. Empty nodes will return null.
