exml

🧑‍💻 Go XML generator without Structs™

Package exml allows XML documents to be generated without the usage of structs or maps. It is not intended for every-day usage, since package xml will probably be a better option.

Installing

You probably already know the drill:

go get github.com/heyvito/exml

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	
	"github.com/heyvito/exml"
)

func main() {
	doc := exml.Document{
		ProcessingInstruction: exml.XML10ProcessingInstruction,
	}

	ns := doc.AddNamespace("foo", "https://tempuri.org")
	root := exml.MakeNode("root", exml.WithNamespace(ns), exml.WithAttribute("attr", "value"))
	doc.SetRoot(root)

	root.AddChild("child", exml.WithInnerText("Some value here"))
	child := root.AddChild("other-child", exml.WithAttribute("len", "1"))
	child.AddChild("other-tag", exml.WithInnerText("More text\nWith line breaks."))

	fmt.Println(doc.String())
}

The code above will print the following XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo:root attr="value" xmlns:foo="https://tempuri.org">
    <child>Some value here</child>
    <other-child len="1">
        <other-tag>
            More text
            With line breaks.
        </other-tag>
    </other-child>
</foo:root>
