XML elements often nest, have data in attributes and/or as character data. The way to capture this data is by using ,attr
and ,chardata
respectively for those cases.
var doc = `
<parent>
<child1 attr1="attribute one"/>
<child2>and some cdata</child2>
</parent>
`
type parent struct {
Child1 child1 `xml:"child1"`
Child2 child2 `xml:"child2"`
}
type child1 struct {
Attr1 string `xml:"attr1,attr"`
}
type child2 struct {
Cdata1 string `xml:",cdata"`
}
func main() {
var obj parent
err := xml.Unmarshal([]byte(doc), &obj)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(obj.Child2.Cdata1)
}
