public class AttributeNameConverter
extends Object

The AttributeNameConverter is Projo's way of converting XML/SGML attribute names to method names. The basic implementation converts from kebab-case to camel-case (e.g., data-widget-id becomes dataWidgetId). It also treats XML namespace separators :) as word delimiters (e.g., xml:base will be converted to xmlBase. However, it does not escape Java keywords, which means its implementation may not necessarily be suitable for generating Java APIs as the generated code may contain method names like class, etc. For that purpose, the DefaultAttributeNameConverter may be a better choice (and is also the default choice if no other AttributeNameConverter is specified).
