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 = "0.2"

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() {

	let doc_raw = r#"
	<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<table>
		<fruit type="apple">worm</fruit>
		<vegetable />
	</table>
	"#;

	let doc = Document::parse(doc_raw.as_bytes()).unwrap();
	let root = doc.root.unwrap();

	let fruit = root.find_child(|tag| tag.name == "fruit").unwrap().clone();
	println!("{} [{:?}] = {}", fruit.name, fruit.attributes, fruit.contents.unwrap());
	
}

Writing XML Data

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