sweet_xml

SweetXml is an Elixir library that simplifies working with XML by providing a clean, expressive API for querying and converting XML documents into native Elixir data structures like maps, lists, strings, and numbers. It wraps the Erlang :xmerl module, making XML parsing more accessible and intuitive for Elixir developers. ## Key Features - **XPath Sigil** — Use the `~x` sigil to write concise XPath 1.0 queries with modifiers for lists, strings, integers, and optional nodes. - **Nested Mapping** — Transform complex XML hierarchies into nested Elixir maps and keyword lists directly in query specifications. - **Streaming Support** — Parse large XML documents efficiently using Elixir streams with tag-based streaming and memory management options. - **Namespace Handling** — Work with XML namespaces by adding custom prefixes regardless of the document's original namespace declarations. - **Value Transformation** — Apply custom transformation functions to extracted values using `transform_by/2` for data cleanup or formatting. - **Security Options** — Separate parsing from mapping to apply security settings like disabling DTD processing for untrusted documents. ## Philosophy SweetXml aims to make XML parsing in Elixir as straightforward as possible, providing a thin, idiomatic layer over :xmerl that emphasizes simplicity, composability, and safety.
