Marshal/Unmarshal XML to/from map[string]interface{} values (and JSON); extract/modify values from maps by key or key-path, including wildcards.
mxj supplants the legacy x2j and j2x packages. The subpackage x2j-wrapper is provided to facilitate migrating from the x2j package. The x2j and j2x subpackages provide similar functionality of the old packages but are not function-name compatible with them.
Note: this library was designed for processing ad hoc anonymous messages. Bulk processing large data sets may be much more efficiently performed using the encoding/xml or encoding/json packages from Go's standard library directly.
Related Packages:
checkxml: github.com/clbanning/checkxml provides functions for validating XML data.

SUMMARY
type Map map[string]interface{}
Create a Map value, 'mv', from any map[string]interface{} value, 'v':
mv := Map(v)
Unmarshal / marshal XML as a Map value, 'mv':
mv, err := NewMapXml(xmlValue) // unmarshal
xmlValue, err := mv.Xml() // marshal
Unmarshal XML from an io.Reader as a Map value, 'mv':
mv, err := NewMapXmlReader(xmlReader) // repeated calls, as with an os.File Reader, will process stream
mv, raw, err := NewMapXmlReaderRaw(xmlReader) // 'raw' is the raw XML that was decoded
Marshal Map value, 'mv', to an XML Writer (io.Writer):
err := mv.XmlWriter(xmlWriter)
raw, err := mv.XmlWriterRaw(xmlWriter) // 'raw' is the raw XML that was written on xmlWriter
Also, for prettified output:
xmlValue, err := mv.XmlIndent(prefix, indent, ...)
err := mv.XmlIndentWriter(xmlWriter, prefix, indent, ...)
raw, err := mv.XmlIndentWriterRaw(xmlWriter, prefix, indent, ...)
Bulk process XML with error handling (note: handlers must return a boolean value):
err := HandleXmlReader(xmlReader, mapHandler(Map), errHandler(error))
err := HandleXmlReaderRaw(xmlReader, mapHandler(Map, []byte), errHandler(error, []byte))
Converting XML to JSON: see Examples for NewMapXml and HandleXmlReader.
There are comparable functions and methods for JSON processing.
Arbitrary structure values can be decoded to / encoded from Map values:
mv, err := NewMapStruct(structVal)
err := mv.Struct(structPointer)
To work with XML tag values, JSON or Map key values or structure field values, decode the XML, JSON
or structure to a Map value, 'mv', or cast a map[string]interface{} value to a Map value, 'mv', then:
paths := mv.PathsForKey(key)
path := mv.PathForKeyShortest(key)
values, err := mv.ValuesForKey(key, subkeys)
values, err := mv.ValuesForPath(path, subkeys) // 'path' can be dot-notation with wildcards and indexed arrays.
count, err := mv.UpdateValuesForPath(newVal, path, subkeys)
Get everything at once, irrespective of path depth:
leafnodes := mv.LeafNodes()
leafvalues := mv.LeafValues()
A new Map with whatever keys are desired can be created from the current Map and then encoded in XML
or JSON. (Note: keys can use dot-notation. 'oldKey' can also use wildcards and indexed arrays.)
newMap, err := mv.NewMap("oldKey_1:newKey_1", "oldKey_2:newKey_2", ..., "oldKey_N:newKey_N")
newMap, err := mv.NewMap("oldKey1", "oldKey3", "oldKey5") // a subset of 'mv'; see "examples/partial.go"
newXml, err := newMap.Xml() // for example
newJson, err := newMap.Json() // ditto
XML PARSING CONVENTIONS
Using NewMapXml()
- Attributes are parsed to `map[string]interface{}` values by prefixing a hyphen, `-`,
to the attribute label. (Unless overridden by `PrependAttrWithHyphen(false)` or
`SetAttrPrefix()`.)
- If the element is a simple element and has attributes, the element value
is given the key `#text` for its `map[string]interface{}` representation. (See
the 'atomFeedString.xml' test data, below.)
- XML comments, directives, and process instructions are ignored.
- If CoerceKeysToLower() has been called, then the resultant keys will be lower case.
Using NewMapXmlSeq()
- Attributes are parsed to `map["#attr"]map[<attr_label>]map[string]interface{}`values
where the `<attr_label>` value has "#text" and "#seq" keys - the "#text" key holds the
value for `<attr_label>`.
- All elements, except for the root, have a "#seq" key.
- Comments, directives, and process instructions are unmarshalled into the Map using the
keys "#comment", "#directive", and "#procinst", respectively. (See documentation for more
specifics.)
- Name space syntax is preserved:
- <ns:key>something</ns.key> parses to map["ns:key"]interface{}{"something"}
- xmlns:ns="http://myns.com/ns" parses to map["xmlns:ns"]interface{}{"http://myns.com/ns"}
Both
- By default, "Nan", "Inf", and "-Inf" values are not cast to float64. If you want them
to be cast, set a flag to cast them using CastNanInf(true).
XML ENCODING CONVENTIONS
- 'nil' Map values, which may represent 'null' JSON values, are encoded as "<tag/>".
NOTE: the operation is not symmetric as "<tag/>" elements are decoded as 'tag:""' Map values,
which, then, encode in JSON as '"tag":""' values..
- ALSO: there is no guarantee that the encoded XML doc will be the same as the decoded one. (Go
randomizes the walk through map[string]interface{} values.) If you plan to re-encode the
Map value to XML and want the same sequencing of elements look at NewMapXmlSeq() and
mv.XmlSeq() - these try to preserve the element sequencing but with added complexity when
working with the Map representation.
