Mastering Go - Second Edition

Go and XML

Go has support for XML, which is a markup language similar to HTML but much more advanced than HTML.

The developed utility, which is called rwXML.go, will read a JSON record from disk, make a change to it, convert it to XML, and print it on screen. Then it will convert the XML data into JSON. The related Go code will be presented in four parts.

The first part of rwXML.go is as follows:

package main 
 
import ( 
    "encoding/json" 
    "encoding/xml" 
    "fmt" 
    "os" 
) 
 
type Record struct { 
    Name    string 
   Surname string 
    Tel     []Telephone 
} 
 
type Telephone struct { 
    Mobile bool 
    Number string 
} 

The second part of rwXML.go is shown in the following Go code:

func loadFromJSON(filename string, key interface{}) error { in, err := os.Open(filename) if err != ...
