This is a library for parsing Nessus XML files and providing iterators over the useful features. Currently, the whole XML file is read into appropriate data structures and iterators are provided over the hosts and ports.

let xml = r#"
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<NessusClientData_v2>
...
</NessusClientData_v2>

let nessus = NessusScan::parse(&xml).unwrap();
