gockl is a minimal XML processor for Go that does not to fuck with your markup.
Supported & tested Go versions are: 1.2 – 1.23.
Transparently decode XML string input and re-encode to string output without affecting
the underlying structure of the original file:
buf := bytes.Buffer{}
z := gockl.New(input)
for {
t, err := z.Next()
if err != nil {
break
}
if el, ok := t.(gockl.ElementToken); ok {
log.Println(el.Name())
}
buf.WriteString(t.Raw())
}
output := buf.String()- To ease creating XML document diffs, if only minor changes to a document are done
