Overview

This is a library that handles XML serialization and deserialization with UTF8 bytes and text

Package installation

MOPS

CLI

Run mops install xml

Or manually:

Modify the mops.toml file to add:

[dependencies]
xml = "{version}"

where {version} is the version number you want to use

See detailed MOPS documentation here

Usage

import Element "mo:xml/Element"
import Xml "mo:xml/Xml"
...

let element : Element.Element = {
    name = "root";
    attributes = [{ name = "attr1"; value=?"value1" }];
    children = #open([
        {
            name = "br";
            attributes = [];
            children = #selfClosing;
        }
    ])
}
let serializedXml : Text = Xml.serialize(element); // <root attr1="value1"><br/></root>

let xmlObj : Element.Element = Xml.deserialize("<root attr1=\"value1\"><br/></root>".chars())

First time setup

To build the library, the MOPS library must be installed. It is used to pull down packages and running tests.

MOPS install instructions: https://mops.one/docs/install

Testing

To run tests, use the make test command or run manually with mops test. The tests use MOPS test framework
