Macro xml

macro_rules! xml {
    ($($xml:tt)+) => { ... };
}

Construct an XmlValue from an XML-like literal.

let value/*: xmlity:::value::XmlElement*/ = xml!(
    <"root">[
        <"child" "attribute"="value">["Text"]</"child">
        <![CDATA["CData content"]]>
        <?"pi-target" "instruction"?>
        <!-- "Comment" -->
       "Text node"
       <"child2":"http://example.com" "attr1"="value1" "attr2"="value2">[]</"child2">
    ]</"root">
);

The macro supports the following XML constructs:

• Elements with attributes
• Text nodes
• CDATA sections
• Processing instructions
• Comments
• Sequences of children

The macro will automatically choose between an XmlSeq and a value-type depending on if the top-level element is a sequence or not. For example, the value above is an XmlElement with a sequence of children, while the example below returns an XmlSeq:

let value/*: xmlity::value::XmlSeq<_>*/ = xml!(
    <"child" "attribute"="value">["Text"]</"child">
    <"child" "attribute"="value">["Text"]</"child">
);
