XML

Context

The encoding/xml package provides XML marshaling and unmarshaling similar to JSON. Struct tags specify element names and attributes.

Example

Marshal a struct to XML.

Code example

package main

import (
    "encoding/xml"
    "fmt"
)

type Person struct {
    XMLName xml.Name `xml:"person"`
    Name    string   `xml:"name"`
    Age     int      `xml:"age"`
}

func main() {
    p := Person{Name: "Alice", Age: 30}
    data, _ := xml.MarshalIndent(p, "", "  ")
    fmt.Println(string(data))
}

Output

<person>
  <name>Alice</name>
  <age>30</age>
</person>
