XMLIO

Mapping nim type to xml node, use xaml-like semantics, <root name="123" /> equal to <root><root.name>123</root.name></root>.

Early development stage, break changes are expected!

Features

1. Works with dynlib, can load new type from so/dll file, that's why I make this package (and vtable)
2. Identify type by UUID, so it can be choosen manually to avoid conflict between dynlibs
3. Use xmlns to avoid name conflict

Basic usage

DOCS: WIP (see tests for more examples)

1. Import xmlio and xmlio/typeid_default
2. Define your object type, only string | SomeInteger | seq[T] | ref T field are supported (for now)
3. Register your type by using generateXmlElementHandler, you need provide a UUID for it, and put verify code in body
4. Define the xmlns and xmlns registry instance
5. Call readXml to parse xml
6. Done!

import xmlio, xmlio/typeid_default

type MyRoot = object of RootObj
  name: string
  secret: int32

generateXmlElementHandler MyRoot, "015a1611-9a98-4cb7-b77f-c7dc56b44507":
  if self.name == "": raise newException(ValueError, "name should not be empty!")
  if self.secret != 123: raise newException(ValueError, "secret is not matched")

var registry = newSimpleRegistry()
var rootns = newSimpleXmlnsHandler()

rootns.registerType("root", ref MyRoot)
registry["std"] = rootns

var root = readXml(registry, """<root xmlns="std" name="name"><root.secret>123</root.secret></root>""", ref MyRoot)
echo root.name # name
echo root.secret # 123
