An XML encoder for go. Heavily inspired by the json encoder that comes with the go distribution.
From encoder_test.go:
type Roar struct {
Author string
Text string
CreationDate string
}
func TestMarshal(t *testing.T) {
var r = &Roar{Author: "Sven", Text: "Hallo, das ist ein Roar!",
CreationDate: "09.07.2010 09:44"}
result, err := Marshal(r)
if err != nil {
t.Fatalf("Marshal r: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s", string(result))
}
yields:
<Roar><Author>Sven</Author><Text>Hallo, das ist ein Roar!</Text><CreationDate>09.07.2010 09:44</CreationDate></Roar>
I'm aware of Russ Coxs' Statement:
XML is for formatting documents, not for describing data structures. The fact that it gets used often for the latter doesn't lessen its fundamental inability to do the job well.
And i think the omission of a Marshal() function is no
coincidence, but ...
