Struct Reader 

pub struct Reader<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Reads a sequence of generic XML events from an in-memory UTF-8 string.

This is a thin wrapper around quick_xml::Reader, scoped to xml-core’s own error type so that callers never need to depend on quick_xml directly.

Whitespace handling

Unlike some XML tooling, this reader does not trim whitespace from text nodes automatically. Whether leading/trailing whitespace inside an element is significant depends on the vocabulary being parsed (for example, xml:space="preserve" in WordprocessingML) — a decision that belongs to the higher-level crates, not to this generic layer.

Scope

This first version only supports reading from an in-memory &str. Real OOXML parts are read fully into memory from their ZIP entry before parsing anyway, so this covers the toolkit’s actual needs; streaming from an arbitrary std::io::Read source can be added later if needed.

Implementations

impl<'a> Reader<'a>

pub fn from_xml_str(xml: &'a str) -> Self

Creates a new reader over the given XML string.

pub fn read_event(&mut self) -> Result<Event<'a>>

Reads the next XML event.

Returns Ok(Event::Eof) once the end of the input has been reached.
