Crate szl_simple_xml 

XML parser and writer This crate can load xml from a file or string and parse it into memory XML can also be manipulated or created and the written to file

Loading xml from a file

fn load_message() -> Result<(), simple_xml::Error> {
    let root = simple_xml::from_file("examples/message.xml")?;
    // Since there can multiple nodes/tags with the same name, we need to index twice
    let heading = &root["heading"][0];
    println!("Heading: {}", heading.content);
    // Access attributes
    let lang = root.get_attribute("lang").expect("Missing lang attribute");
    println!("Language: {}", lang);
    Ok(())
}

Creating xml structures

let name = String::from("Tim Roberts");
let health = 50;

let mut player = simple_xml::new("player", String::new());
player.add_new_node("health", health.to_string());
player.add_new_node("name", name);
// Save to file
player.save_to_file("./player.xml");

Editing xml structures

let file =     
   szl_simple_xml::from_file("./examples/note.xml").expect("Failed to parse simple_xml");
   let mut resources = 
       &mut file.get_mut_nodes("resources").unwrap()[0].get_mut_nodes("resource").unwrap()[0];
   
   let href = String::from("page1.html");
   let new_file_node = szl_simple_xml::new("file", String::new());
   new_file_node.add_attribute("href", &href);

   resources.add_node(new_file_node);
   let write_file = file.save_to_file_pretty("./test.xml")
