# strong-xml
Strong typed xml, based on xmlparser.
### Quick Start
```toml
strong-xml = "0.2.1"
```
```rust
use std::borrow::Cow;
use strong_xml::{XmlRead, XmlWrite};
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "parent")]
struct Parent<'a> {
#[xml(attr = "attr1")]
attr1: Cow<'a, str>,
#[xml(attr = "attr2")]
attr2: Option<Cow<'a, str>>,
#[xml(child = "child")]
child: Vec<Child<'a>>,
}
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "child")]
struct Child<'a> {
#[xml(text)]
text: Cow<'a, str>,
}
assert_eq!(
(Parent { attr1: "val".into(), attr2: None, child: vec![] }).to_string().unwrap(),
r#"<parent attr1="val"/>"#
);
assert_eq!(
Parent::from_str(r#"<parent attr1="val" attr2="val"><child></child></parent>"#).unwrap(),
Parent { attr1: "val".into(), attr2: Some("val".into()), child: vec![Child { text: "".into() }] }
);
```
### Attributes
#### `#[xml(tag = "")]`
Specifies the xml tag of a struct or an enum variant.
```rust
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "parent")]
struct Parent {}
assert_eq!(
(Parent {}).to_string().unwrap(),
r#"<parent/>"#
);
assert_eq!(
Parent::from_str(r#"<parent/>"#).unwrap(),
Parent {}
);
```
```rust
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "tag1")]
struct Tag1 {}
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "tag2")]
struct Tag2 {}
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
enum Tag {
#[xml(tag = "tag1")]
Tag1(Tag1),
#[xml(tag = "tag2")]
Tag2(Tag2),
}
assert_eq!(
(Tag::Tag1(Tag1 {})).to_string().unwrap(),
r#"<tag1/>"#
);
assert_eq!(
Tag::from_str(r#"<tag2></tag2>"#).unwrap(),
Tag::Tag2(Tag2 {})
);
```
#### `#[xml(attr = "")]`
Specifies that a struct field is attribute. Support
`Cow<str>`, `Option<Cow<str>>`, `bool`, `Option<bool>`,
`usize`, `Option<usize>`, `T` and `Option<T>` where
`T: std::str::FromStr`.
```rust
use strong_xml::{XmlRead, XmlWrite};
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "parent")]
struct Parent {
#[xml(attr = "attr")]
attr: usize
}
assert_eq!(
(Parent { attr: 42 }).to_string().unwrap(),
r#"<parent attr="42"/>"#
);
assert_eq!(
Parent::from_str(r#"<parent attr="48"></parent>"#).unwrap(),
Parent { attr: 48 }
);
```
#### `#[xml(child = "")]`
Specifies that a struct field is a child element. Support
`T`, `Option<T>`, `Vec<T>` where `T: XmlRead + XmlWrite`.
```rust
use strong_xml::{XmlRead, XmlWrite};
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "tag1")]
struct Tag1 {}
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "tag2")]
struct Tag2 {}
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "tag3")]
struct Tag3 {}
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
enum Tag12 {
#[xml(tag = "tag1")]
Tag1(Tag1),
#[xml(tag = "tag2")]
Tag2(Tag2),
}
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "parent")]
struct Parent {
#[xml(child = "tag3")]
tag3: Vec<Tag3>,
#[xml(child = "tag1", child = "tag2")]
tag12: Option<Tag12>
}
assert_eq!(
(Parent { tag3: vec![Tag3 {}], tag12: None }).to_string().unwrap(),
r#"<parent><tag3/></parent>"#
);
assert_eq!(
Parent::from_str(r#"<parent><tag2></tag2></parent>"#).unwrap(),
Parent { tag3: vec![], tag12: Some(Tag12::Tag2(Tag2 {})) }
);
```
#### `#[xml(text)]`
Specifies that a struct field is text content.
Support `Cow<str>`.
```rust
use std::borrow::Cow;
use strong_xml::{XmlRead, XmlWrite};
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "parent")]
struct Parent<'a> {
#[xml(text)]
content: Cow<'a, str>,
}
assert_eq!(
(Parent { content: "content".into() }).to_string().unwrap(),
r#"<parent>content</parent>"#
);
assert_eq!(
Parent::from_str(r#"<parent></parent>"#).unwrap(),
Parent { content: "".into() }
);
```
#### `#[xml(flatten_text = "")]`
Specifies that a struct field is child text element.
Support `Cow<str>`, `Vec<Cow<str>>` and `Option<Cow<str>>`.
```rust
use std::borrow::Cow;
use strong_xml::{XmlRead, XmlWrite};
#[derive(XmlWrite, XmlRead, PartialEq, Debug)]
#[xml(tag = "parent")]
struct Parent<'a> {
#[xml(flatten_text = "child")]
content: Cow<'a, str>,
}
assert_eq!(
(Parent { content: "content".into() }).to_string().unwrap(),
r#"<parent><child>content</child></parent>"#
);
assert_eq!(
Parent::from_str(r#"<parent><child></child></parent>"#).unwrap(),
Parent { content: "".into() }
);
```
