xmlite

XML 1.0 parser library for Rust.

Usage

The two most relevant functions are xmlite::document and xmlite::tags for parsing a whole document or individual tags.

See the documentation for specific usage instructions.

Examples

Parse a document:

let text = r#"<?xml?><can><beans kind="fava">Cool Beans</beans><sauce></sauce></can>"#;
let xml = xmlite::document(text).unwrap();
eprintln!("{xml:?}");
assert_eq!(xml.name(), Some("can"));
assert_eq!(xml.children().next().unwrap().name(), Some("beans"));
assert_eq!(xml.children().next().unwrap().attr("kind"), Some("\"fava\""));

Mutate the document afterwards:

let text = r#"<?xml?><bag><pastry kind="danish" /></bag>"#;
let mut xml = xmlite::document(text).unwrap();
# assert_eq!(xml.name(), Some("bag"));
let attr = xml.children_mut().find(|e| e.name() == Some("pastry")).unwrap().attr_mut("kind");
*attr.unwrap() = "berliner".to_owned();
