xml-builder

This crate allows you to easily create an XML file in a short time by building a highly-configurable object tree.

Main advantages

This crate offers many advantages over other XML-building crates :

• Fast and easy XML documents creation
• Low size, suits fine for embedeed systems
• Does not depend on other crates
• Highly configurable
• No unsafe code, it integrates the #![forbid(unsafe_code)] lint directive

Main features

Using this crate can bring you many useful features :

• Element attributes sorting
• XML indentation, or not
• Custom XML versions
• Custom XML encodings

Usage

To use this crate you just need to add this to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies]
xml-builder = "*"

Examples

use xml_builder::{XMLBuilder, XMLElement, XMLVersion};

let mut xml = XMLBuilder::new()
    .version(XMLVersion::XML1_1)
    .encoding("UTF-8".into())
    .build();

let mut house = XMLElement::new("house");
house.add_attribute("rooms", "2");

for i in 1..=2 {
    let mut room = XMLElement::new("room");
    room.add_attribute("number", &i.to_string());
    room.add_text(format!("This is room number {}", i)).unwrap();
    house.add_child(room).unwrap();
}

xml.set_root_element(house);

let mut writer: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
xml.generate(&mut writer).unwrap();

This following XML content will then be displayed:

<?xml encoding="UTF-8" version="1.1"?>
<house rooms="2">
        <room number="1" price="42">This is room number 1</room>
        <room number="2" price="84">This is room number 2</room>
</house>
