xml-builder

This crate allows you to easily create an XML file in a short time by building a highly-configurable object tree.

Main advantages

This crate offers many advantages over other XML-building crates :

• Fast and easy documents creation
• Low size, suits fine for embedeed systems
• Does not depend on other crates
• High configurable
• No unsafe code, it integrates the #![forbid(unsafe_code)] lint directive

Main features

Using this crate can bring you many useful features :

• Element attributes sorting
• Custom XML versions
• Custom XML encodings

Usage

To use this crate you just need to add this to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
xml-builder = "*"

Examples

use xml_builder::{XML, XMLElement, XMLVersion};

fn main() {
    let mut xml = XML::new();
    xml.set_attribute_sorting(true);
    xml.set_version(XMLVersion::XML1_1);
    xml.set_encoding("UTF-8".into());

    let mut house = XMLElement::new("house");
    house.add_attribute("rooms", "2");

    for i in 1..=2 {
        let mut room = XMLElement::new("room");
        room.add_attribute("price", &(42*i).to_string());
        room.add_attribute("number", &i.to_string());
        room.add_text(format!("This is room number {}", i)).unwrap();

        house.add_child(room).unwrap();
    }

    xml.set_root_element(house);

    let mut stdio = std::io::stdout();
    xml.build(&mut stdio).unwrap();
}

This following XML content will then be displayed:

<?xml encoding="UTF-8" version="1.1"?>
<house rooms="2">
        <room number="1" price="42">This is room number 1</room>
        <room number="2" price="84">This is room number 2</room>
</house>
