A namespace-aware XML parser for Rust providing SAX-like and element-building APIs.
RustyXML is a Rust crate for parsing and working with XML data. It provides a namespace-aware XML parser with both low-level SAX-style event APIs and higher-level element-building capabilities, enabling developers to handle XML documents efficiently in Rust applications.
Rust developers who need to parse, generate, or manipulate XML data, particularly those working with protocols like XMPP or data formats that rely on XML namespaces.
It offers a pure Rust implementation with correct namespace handling, multiple API levels for flexibility, and an optional feature for preserving attribute order, making it a reliable choice for XML processing in Rust ecosystems.

Correctly handles XML namespaces in parsing and element building, essential for protocols like XMPP, as shown in examples with 'xmlns' attributes.
Provides a SAX-like event-driven parser for streaming and an ElementBuilder for tree construction, offering control over parsing granularity.
Allows manual creation and manipulation of Element structs, enabling dynamic XML generation, demonstrated in the hand-building example.
With the 'ordered_attrs' feature, attribute order is preserved during serialization, useful for specific use cases where order matters.
The README admits to incomplete error checking, which could lead to unhandled parsing errors and bugs in production environments.
The API is labeled as unstable, meaning frequent breaking changes that can complicate maintenance and integration in long-term projects.
Lacks advanced XML capabilities such as XPath queries or schema validation, restricting its use for complex XML processing tasks.
