MarkupBuilder using list

Question

I am currently using sql.row("statement") and storing to a list. I then am trying to setup my xml file using MarkupBuilder. Is there a better way than iterating over the list poping off an item and then parsing it to add my different column names and values?

What is stored by list entry is

ID='X' Period='Yearly' Lengh='test'

So the XML would be something similar to:

<table name='test'>
 <row>
  <column name=ID>X</column>
  <column name=Period>Yearly</column>
  <column name=Length>test</column>
 </row>
</table>

You can setup your own object and use XStream to serialize. Example usage...

XStream xstream = new XStream();
String xml = xstream.toXML(yourObject);
