Crate nextcloud_dav 

WebDAV client foundation for the Nextcloud SDK.

The crate covers the part of WebDAV Nextcloud’s file API leans on first: addressing a path below a user’s file tree (DavPath), describing what to ask for (DavProperty, PropfindBody), and turning a 207 Multi-Status answer into typed resources (DavResource) through DavClient.

Requests travel through nextcloud_sdk_core’s transport seam, so this crate is generic over how bytes move and how credentials are applied; it never opens a socket itself.

XML is written and read by hand. The propfind body is small and fixed, and the reader only has to understand a multistatus envelope, so a full XML implementation would be more weight than value. xml documents the escaping helpers and the limits of that reader.
