Package Documentation: xmlToJson

The xmlToJson package provides functionality for converting XML data to a structured JSON representation. It includes functions for reading XML data from a file, converting XML to a hierarchical structure, and generating JSON output.

Types

XmlNode

type XmlNode struct {
    Name       string
    ParentName string
    Attributes map[string]string
    Children   []*XmlNode
    Content    string
}

• Name: The name of the XML node.
• ParentName: The name of the parent XML node.
• Attributes: A map of attribute names to attribute values.
• Children: A slice of child XML nodes.
• Content: The content of the XML node.

Functions

ReadFile

func ReadFile(filePath string) ([]byte, error)

• Reads XML data from the specified file path.
• Returns the XML data as a byte slice.

XmlToNode

func XmlToNode(xmlData []byte) (*XmlNode, error)

• Converts XML data to a hierarchical XmlNode structure.
• Returns the root XmlNode of the hierarchy.

(node *XmlNode) ToMap

func (node *XmlNode) ToMap() interface{}

• Converts an XmlNode to a map representation.
• Returns a map representing the structure of the XML node.

(node *XmlNode) ToJson

func (node *XmlNode) ToJson() ([]byte, error)

• Converts an XmlNode to a JSON representation.
• Returns a JSON-encoded byte slice representing the structure of the XML node.

XmlToJson

func XmlToJson(xmlData []byte) ([]byte, error)

• Converts XML data to a JSON representation.
• Returns a JSON-encoded byte slice.

Usage Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/your-username/xmlToJson"
)

func main() {
	xmlData, err := xmlToJson.ReadFile("path/to/your/file.xml")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error reading XML file:", err)
		return
	}

	node, err := xmlToJson.XmlToNode(xmlData)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error converting XML to node:", err)
		return
	}

	jsonData, err := node.ToJson()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error converting node to JSON:", err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println(string(jsonData))
}

Notes

• This package assumes well-formed XML data.
• The XML to JSON conversion preserves the hierarchical structure of the XML data.
• The package uses the encoding/xml and encoding/json standard packages for XML and JSON processing, respectively.

Feel free to adapt and use the package in your projects!
