Current version: 0.0.2
exile is a Rust library for reading and writing XML.
The goal, at least initially, is to provide an abstract syntax tree of an XML file. As such, this is a Exile is a dom parser and loads the complete contents of the document into memory.
Currently supported: - Elements - Attributes - Text Nodes - Processing Instructions - UTF-8
Not Supported: - Entities - Entity References - Doctypes - Comment Parsing - Other Encodings - Whitespace Preservation
Parsing XML looks like this.
```rust
let xml = r#"
let doc = exile::parse(xml).unwrap(); for child in doc.root().children() { println!("element name: {}", child.name); if let Some(attribute) = child.attributes.map().get("name") { println!("name attribute: {}", attribute); } } ```
Authoring XML looks like this.
rust
use exile::{Document, Element, Node};
let mut root = Element::from_name("my_root");
// TODO - improve the interface
root.attributes.mut_map().insert("foo".into(), "bar".into());
let mut child = Element::from_name("my_child");
child.nodes.push(Node::Text("Hello World!".into()));
root.nodes.push(Node::Element(child));
let doc = Document::from_root(root);
println!("{}", doc.to_string());
The program above prints:
xml
<my_root foo="bar">
<my_child>Hello World!</my_child>
</my_root>
