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 XML documents creation
* Low size, suits fine for embedeed systems
* Does not depend on other crates
* Highly 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
* XML indentation, or not
* Custom XML versions
* Custom XML encodings
## Usage
To use this crate you just need to add this to your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies]
xml-builder = "*"
```
## Examples
```rust
use xml_builder::{XMLBuilder, XMLElement, XMLVersion};
let mut xml = XMLBuilder::new()
.version(XMLVersion::XML1_1)
.encoding("UTF-8".into())
.build();
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("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 writer: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
xml.generate(&mut writer).unwrap();
```
This following XML content will then be displayed:
```xml
<?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>
```
