package encoding/xml
EncodeElement writes the XML encoding of v to the stream, using start as the outermost tag in the encoding.
See the documentation for Marshal for details about the conversion of Go values to XML.
EncodeElement calls Flush before returning.
Golang encoding/xml.Encoder.EncodeElement() function usage example
package main
import (
"encoding/xml"
"fmt"
"os"
"reflect"
)
type Address struct {
City, State string
}
type Person struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:"person"`
Id int `xml:"id,attr"`
FirstName string `xml:"name>first"`
LastName string `xml:"name>last"`
Age int `xml:"age"`
Height float32 `xml:"height,omitempty"`
Married bool
Address
Comment string `xml:",comment"`
}
func main() {
v := &Person{Id: 13, FirstName: "John", LastName: "Doe", Age: 42}
v.Comment = " Need more details. "
v.Address = Address{"Hanga Roa", "Easter Island"}
encoder := xml.NewEncoder(os.Stdout)
start := xml.StartElement{
Name: xml.Name{
Space: "",
Local: reflect.Indirect(reflect.ValueOf(v)).Type().Name(),
},
Attr: []xml.Attr{{xml.Name{"", "xmlns"}, "https://socketloop.com/xmldoc/2014-09-01/"}},
}
if err := encoder.EncodeElement(v, start); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
}
Output :
<Person xmlns="https://socketloop.com/xmldoc/2014-09-01/" id="13"><name><first>John</first>
<last>Doe</last></name><age>42</age><Married>false</Married>
<City>Hanga Roa</City><State>Easter Island</State><!-- Need more details. --></Person>
