Module value

This module contains the XmlValue type, which is a type which can be serialized or deserialized as XML, and a type which other types can deserialize from/serialize into.

It also contains subtypes to XmlValue including XmlText, XmlElement, and XmlAttribute, which can be used to deserialize from/serialize into specific types of XML data.

This is very useful in cases where you have arbitrary XML data, and you want to deserialize it into a type which can be used in your application, but you don’t know what the type is ahead of time and want to be able to handle it generically.

The types in this module can be constructed using the crate::xml! macro.
