mxj
A Go library for decoding/encoding XML to/from map[string]interface{} (or JSON) and extracting values with dot-notation paths.
What is mxj?
mxj is a Go library that decodes XML into map[string]interface{} (or JSON) and encodes maps or JSON back to XML. It solves the problem of handling XML data with the same flexibility as JSON in Go applications, enabling easy extraction and modification of values using path notation.
Go developers working with XML data, especially those integrating legacy XML systems, processing XML streams, or needing to manipulate XML as map structures for interoperability with JSON-based components.
Developers choose mxj because it provides a unified map-based interface for XML and JSON, supports efficient stream processing, offers extensive customization for parsing/encoding, and replaces the older x2j/j2x packages with improved performance and features.
Overview
