Current version: 0.0.3
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 - CDATA Sections - Processing Instructions - UTF-8 - Whitespace Normalization
Not Supported:
- Entities
- Entity References
- Doctypes
- Comment Parsing
- Other Encodings
- Whitesace Preservation: All text nodes are treated as if whitespace collapse were in-effect.
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.attribute("name") { println!("name attribute: {}", attribute); } } ```
Authoring XML looks like this.
rust
use exile::{Document, Element, Node};
let mut root = Element::from_name("my_root");
root.add_attribute("foo", "bar");
let mut child = Element::from_name("my_child");
child.add_text("Hello World!");
root.add_child(child);
let doc = Document::from_root(root);
println!("{}", doc.to_string());
The above program prints:
xml
<my_root foo="bar">
<my_child>Hello World!</my_child>
</my_root>
