Basics
To parse xml within go:
- you define
MarshallText/UnmarshallText
methods on an object- declare a variable with the types you'd like to use
xml.Unmarshall(your_type)
will use type info to serialize/deserialize objects
Struct Tags
See full details here
type User struct { Name `xml:"Name"` // <User><Name>value</Name></User> Color `xml:"color,attr"` // <User color="value"></User> Skip `xml:"-"` // <User></User> }Known issues:
- xml namespaces don't work as expected: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/11496
- It doesn't appear that go's internal xml library supports schema validation
