Crate quick_xml

High performance XML reader/writer.

Description

quick-xml contains two modes of operation:

A streaming API based on the StAX model. This is suited for larger XML documents which cannot completely read into memory at once.

The user has to explicitly ask for the next XML event, similar to a database cursor. This is achieved by the following two structs:

• Reader: A low level XML pull-reader where buffer allocation/clearing is left to user.
• Writer: A XML writer. Can be nested with readers if you want to transform XMLs.

Especially for nested XML elements, the user must keep track where (how deep) in the XML document the current event is located.

quick-xml contains optional support of asynchronous reading and writing using tokio. To get it enable the async-tokio feature.

Furthermore, quick-xml also contains optional Serde support to directly serialize and deserialize from structs, without having to deal with the XML events. To get it enable the serialize feature. Read more about mapping Rust types to XML in the documentation of de module. Also check [serde_helpers] module.

Examples

• For a reading example see Reader
• For a writing example see Writer
