ElementTree for Rust

API Documentation

This library parses XML into a Python ElementTree like structure. It currently has basic support for reading and writing with pretty good namespace support and the ability to inspect the file.

It's not recommended to use this for larger documents as the entire document will be loaded into memory. However it's pretty good for working with configuration files and similar things.

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
elementtree = "0"

Example

let root = Element::from_reader(r#"<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns="tag:myns" xmlns:foo="tag:otherns">
    <list a="1" b="2" c="3">
        <item foo:attr="foo1"/>
        <item foo:attr="foo2"/>
        <item foo:attr="foo3"/>
    </list>
</root>
"#.as_bytes()).unwrap();
let list = root.find("{tag:myns}list").unwrap();
for child in list.find_all("{tag:myns}item") {
    println!("attribute: {}", child.get_attr("{tag:otherns}attr").unwrap());
}
