treexml: An XML Tree Library for Rust

treexml is a simple element-tree style library for XML data.

Usage

Like most rust packages, treexml uses cargo. To use treexml, add the following to your project's Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
treexml = "0.1"

The package exposes a crate named treexml.

extern crate treexml;

Reading XML Data

Assuming r is something that implements std::io::Read:

extern crate treexml;

use treexml::Document;

fn main() {

	// ...
	// code that opens a file / fetches data from an API and assigns r
	// ...

	let doc = Document::parse(r).unwrap();

	let elem = match doc.root {
		None => panic!("no data"),
		Some(r) => r.children[0].clone(),
	};

	let contents = match elem.contents {
		None => "".to_owned(),
		Some(s) => s.clone(),
	};

	println!("{} [{:?}] = {}", elem.name, elem.attributes, contents);
	
}

Writing XML Data

This is currently not supported, but is on the cards for a future version.
