woxml::XmlWriter

The XmlWriter is designed to write xml in an efficient way without any DOM or other intermediate structures.

The implementation is based on the crate xml_writer by Piotr Zolnierek, but can also be used in #[no_std] environments (use 'default-features = false').

It is not an exact drop-in-replacement for xml_writer's XmlWriter as the access to interiors is prohibitet, you have to use different constructors and accessors respectively.

It also is not possible to use it for all std::io::Write implementors, as it is also usable in #[no_std] environments.

There is an own Write trait, which currently is implemented by the crate for

  • Vec<u8>
  • bytes::BytesMut.

Future versions will add further implementations of Write. If you need a missing implementation, please file an issue or create a pull request.

Usage

extern crate woxml;
use woxml::XmlWriter;

let mut xml = XmlWriter::pretty_mode(Vec::new()); // supply a `woxml::Write` implementor
xml.begin_elem("root");
    xml.comment("have a nice day");
    xml.begin_elem("first");
        xml.attr_esc("name", "\"123\"");
        xml.attr("id", "abc");
        xml.text("'text'");
    xml.end_elem();
    xml.begin_elem("stuff");
        xml.cdata("some cdata");
    xml.end_elem();
    xml.set_namespace("area51");
        xml.comment("in namespace 'area51'");
        xml.elem("first");
    xml.unset_namespace();
xml.end_elem();
xml.close(); // This will also close all open elements
xml.flush();

println!("{}", String::try_from(xml).unwrap())
