XML utils

This don't stable version

Implementation features

• Ignore prefix in xml tag

  Now xml:"prefix:name" is interpreted by Unmarshal as xml:"name"

  This is necessary for the same behavior of Unmarshal/Marshal with prefix tags

• Add support for xml.Unmarshaler

  Now there is no need to change all implementations of xml.Unmarshaler to xmlutils.Unmarshaler

• Add forwarding xmlutils.Decoder to xml.Unmarshaler

  Now, regardless of how Unmarshal was launched (from xml or from xmlutils), you have the opportunity to use xmlutils where necessary

• Move all existing structures from the fork back to encoding/xml

  Now this is implemented for most structures (such as xml.StartElement, xml.Name, xml.Attr, xml.Token and others), but I do not exclude that there is something else that can be transferred

Forwarding xmlutils.Decoder via the xml.UnmarshalXML interface

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"encoding/xml"

	"github.com/mantyr/xmlutils"
)

type A struct {
	B struct {
		Data string `xml:"prefix:data"`
	}
}

func (a *A) UnmarshalXML(d *xml.Decoder, start xml.StartElement) error {
	return xmlutils.NewTokenDecoder(d, start).Decode(&a.B)
}

func main() {
	data := `<a><prefix:data>test</prefix:data></a>`
	a := &A{}
	err := xml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &a)
	fmt.Println(err)
	fmt.Println(a.B.Data)
	// Output:
	// <nil>
	// test
}
