Struct Writer 

pub struct Writer<W> { /* private fields */ }

XML writer. Writes XML Events to a std::io::Write implementor.

Examples

This example reads an XML document event by event, renaming one element while keeping the rest verbatim, and writes it back out.

use oxixml_xml::events::{BytesEnd, BytesStart, Event};
use oxixml_xml::reader::Reader;
use oxixml_xml::writer::Writer;

let xml = r#"<this_tag k1="v1" k2="v2"><child>text</child></this_tag>"#;
let mut reader = Reader::from_str(xml);
let mut writer = Writer::new(Vec::new());
loop {
    match reader.read_event().expect("valid event") {
        Event::Start(e) if e.name().as_ref() == b"this_tag" => {
            let mut elem = BytesStart::new("my_elem");
            elem.extend_attributes(e.attributes().map(|attr| attr.expect("attr")));
            elem.push_attribute(("my-key", "some value"));
            writer.write_event(Event::Start(elem)).expect("start");
        }
        Event::End(e) if e.name().as_ref() == b"this_tag" => {
            writer.write_event(Event::End(BytesEnd::new("my_elem"))).expect("end");
        }
        Event::Eof => break,
        e => writer.write_event(e).expect("event"),
    }
}

let result = writer.into_inner();
let expected = r#"<my_elem k1="v1" k2="v2" my-key="some value"><child>text</child></my_elem>"#;
assert_eq!(result, expected.as_bytes());

Implementations

impl<W: AsyncWrite + Unpin> Writer<W>

pub async fn write_event_async<'a, E: Into<Event<'a>>>( &mut self, event: E, ) -> Result<()>

Available on crate feature async-tokio only.

Writes the given event to the underlying writer. Async version of Writer::write_event.

pub async fn write_indent_async(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Available on crate feature async-tokio only.

Manually writes a newline and indentation at the proper level. Async version of Writer::write_indent.

This method does nothing if Writer was not constructed with Writer::new_with_indent.

impl<W> Writer<W>

pub const fn new(inner: W) -> Writer<W>

Creates a Writer from a generic writer.

pub fn new_with_indent( inner: W, indent_char: u8, indent_size: usize, ) -> Writer<W>

Creates a Writer with configured indentation from a generic writer.

Each nesting level is indented by indent_size repetitions of the indent_char byte (typically b' ' or b'\t').

pub fn into_inner(self) -> W

Consumes this Writer, returning the underlying writer.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut W

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying writer.

pub const fn get_ref(&self) -> &W

Gets a reference to the underlying writer.

pub const fn config(&self) -> &Config

Returns a reference to the writer configuration.

pub fn config_mut(&mut self) -> &mut Config

Returns a mutable reference to the writer configuration.

pub fn create_element<'a, N>(&'a mut self, name: N) -> ElementWriter<'a, W>

where N: Into<Cow<'a, str>>,

Provides a simple, high-level API for writing an XML element.

Returns an ElementWriter that simplifies setting attributes and writing content inside the element.

Example

use oxixml_xml::events::BytesText;
use oxixml_xml::writer::Writer;

let mut writer = Writer::new(Vec::new());

// writes <tag attr1="value1"/>
writer.create_element("tag")
    .with_attribute(("attr1", "value1"))
    .write_empty()
    .expect("empty");

// writes <tag attr1="value1" attr2="value2">with some text inside</tag>
writer.create_element("tag")
    .with_attributes(vec![("attr1", "value1"), ("attr2", "value2")])
    .write_text_content(BytesText::new("with some text inside"))
    .expect("text");

// writes <tag><fruit quantity="0">apple</fruit><fruit quantity="1">orange</fruit></tag>
writer.create_element("tag")
    .write_inner_content(|writer| {
        let fruits = ["apple", "orange"];
        for (quant, item) in fruits.iter().enumerate() {
            writer
                .create_element("fruit")
                .with_attribute(("quantity", quant.to_string().as_str()))
                .write_text_content(BytesText::new(item))?;
        }
        Ok(())
    })
    .expect("inner");

impl<W: Write> Writer<W>

pub fn write_bom(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Writes a Byte-Order-Mark character to the document.

Example

use oxixml_xml::writer::Writer;

let mut writer = Writer::new_with_indent(Vec::new(), b' ', 4);

writer.write_bom().expect("bom");
writer
    .create_element("empty")
    .with_attribute(("attr1", "value1"))
    .write_empty()
    .expect("empty");

assert_eq!(
    std::str::from_utf8(&writer.into_inner()).expect("utf-8"),
    "\u{FEFF}<empty attr1=\"value1\"/>"
);

pub fn write_event<'a, E: Into<Event<'a>>>(&mut self, event: E) -> Result<()>

Writes the given event to the underlying writer.

pub fn write_indent(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Manually writes a newline and indentation at the proper level.

This can be used when the heuristic to line break and indent after every Event apart from Text fails, such as when a Start occurs directly after a Text.

This method does nothing if Writer was not constructed with new_with_indent.

pub fn write_serializable<T: Serialize>( &mut self, tag_name: &str, content: &T, ) -> Result<(), SeError>

Available on crate feature serialize only.

Writes a serde-serializable value as an XML element named tag_name.

The value is serialized with crate::se::Serializer, so the usual mapping rules apply (@field becomes an attribute, $text becomes the text content, and so on). If this Writer was created with new_with_indent, the produced markup shares the writer’s indentation state.

Examples

#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Serialize)]
struct MyData {
    question: String,
    answer: u32,
}

let data = MyData {
    question: "The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything".into(),
    answer: 42,
};

let mut buffer = Vec::new();
let mut writer = Writer::new_with_indent(&mut buffer, b' ', 4);

let start = BytesStart::new("root");
let end = start.to_end();

writer.write_event(Event::Start(start.clone()))?;
writer.write_serializable("my_data", &data)?;
writer.write_event(Event::End(end))?;

assert_eq!(
    std::str::from_utf8(&buffer)?,
    r#"<root>
    <my_data>
        <question>The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything</question>
        <answer>42</answer>
    </my_data>
</root>"#
);
