Hi @Nandheswara ,
As being said, There is not OOTB feature available to export RSS/xml feed. You can't use OOTB headless as you are looking for xml output. Implementing custom solution is not difficult. Let me give you two solutions.
1. Implement custom content exporter to export xml data. This is just Sling Model exporter but it export content in xml format instead json format. Instead of Jackson exporter you will be using your own custom Sling Model exporter. This is standard framework for implementing custom exporter.
2. Write a custom Servlet/Service to get XML data.
Solution 1 - Custom Sling Model Exporter
1- Create Class/backend Component by implementing ModelExporter
2- You must have 3 overridden methods.
export() - This method return your actual content. I am using JAXB api to export xml. You can implement your own api as well.
getName() - You will be using this name in your sling model.
isSupported() - class support exporter.
3. Now use this Model Exporter in Sling Model as
@Exporter(name = "geeksxml",extensions = "xml",selector = "geeks")
4. You have to use JAXB specific annotations in Sling Model as we do for OOTB Jackson exporter
@XmlRootElement
@XmlElementWrapper
@XmlElement
Sample code for Model Exporter
@Component(service = ModelExporter.class)
public class GeeksXmlExporter implements ModelExporter {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(GeeksXmlExporter.class);
@Override
public boolean isSupported(Class<?> aClass) {
return true;
}
@Override
public <T> T export(Object model, Class<T> aClass, Map<String, String> options) throws ExportException {
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
try {
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(model.getClass());
Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
marshaller.marshal(model, stringWriter);
} catch (JAXBException e) {
LOG.info("\n Marshell Error : {} ",e.getMessage());
}
return (T) stringWriter.toString();
}
@Override
public String getName() {
return "geeksxml";
}
}Sling Model code. In this I explained how to use xml exporter in Sling Model.
Exporter(name = "geeksxml",extensions = "xml",selector = "geeks")
@Model(
adaptables = SlingHttpServletRequest.class,
adapters = XmlExporter.class,
resourceType = XmlExporterImpl.RESOURCE_TYPE,
defaultInjectionStrategy = DefaultInjectionStrategy.OPTIONAL
)
@XmlRootElement(name = "geeks-exporter")
public class XmlExporterImpl implements XmlExporter {
static final String RESOURCE_TYPE="aemgeeks/components/content/xmlexporter";
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(XmlExporterImpl.class);
@Inject
Resource componentResource;
@ValueMapValue
String xmltitle;
@ValueMapValue
String xmldescription;
@ValueMapValue
Calendar xmldate;
@ValueMapValue
private List<String> books;
List<Map<String, String>> bookDetailsMap;
@Override
@XmlElement(name = "author-title")
public String getTitle() {
return xmltitle;
}
@Override
@XmlElement(name = "author-description")
public String getDescription() {
return xmldescription;
}
@Override
@XmlElementWrapper(name = "books")
@XmlElement(name="book")
public List<String> getBooks() {
if (books != null) {
return new ArrayList<String>(books);
} else {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
}
@Override
@XmlElement(name = "publish-date")
public Calendar getDate() {
return xmldate;
}
@XmlElement(name = "author-name")
public String getAuthorName(){
return "AEM GEEKS";
}

Solution 2 - Write Servlet/ Service.
This is custom solution. You can write code to export xml as per your need. I am sharing servlet which export pages title and name in xml formate. This is just demo/sample code. You can implement in same way as per your need.
@Override
protected void doGet(final SlingHttpServletRequest req, final SlingHttpServletResponse resp) {
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory documentFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = documentBuilder.newDocument();
ResourceResolver resourceResolver = ResolverUtil.newResolver(resourceResolverFactory);
Page page = resourceResolver.adaptTo(PageManager.class).getPage("/content/aemgeeks/us/en");
Iterator<Page> childPages = page.listChildren();
Element root = document.createElement("allnews");
document.appendChild(root);
while (childPages.hasNext()) {
Element news = document.createElement("news");
root.appendChild(news);
Page childPage = childPages.next();
Element title = document.createElement("title");
title.appendChild(document.createTextNode(childPage.getTitle()));
news.appendChild(title);
Element name = document.createElement("name");
name.appendChild(document.createTextNode(childPage.getName()));
news.appendChild(name);
}
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(document);
resp.setContentType("application/xml");
StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(resp.getWriter());
transformer.transform(domSource,streamResult);
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.info("\n ERROR GET - {} ", e.getMessage());
}

I hope this will be helpful. It will help to implement your use case.
