skiptools / skip-xml

SkipXML is a Skip framework that provides an XML Document parser.

On Swift/iOS it is implemented using Foundation.XMLParser and Foundation.XMLParserDelegate, and on the Kotlin/Android side it uses org.xml.sax.XMLReader and org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler.

Documents are parsed into in-memory XMLNode structures as follows:

import SkipXML

func parseXML(data: Data) throws -> String {
    let node = try XMLNode.parse(data: data, options: [.processNamespaces])    
    return node.xmlString() // returns the XML document as a string
}

Building

This project is a Swift Package Manager module that uses the Skip plugin to transpile Swift into Kotlin.

Building the module requires that Skip be installed using Homebrew with brew install skiptools/skip/skip. This will also install the necessary build prerequisites: Kotlin, Gradle, and the Android build tools.

Testing

The module can be tested using the standard swift test command or by running the test target for the macOS destination in Xcode, which will run the Swift tests as well as the transpiled Kotlin JUnit tests in the Robolectric Android simulation environment.

Parity testing can be performed with skip test, which will output a table of the test results for both platforms.

skip-xml's Issues

Convert the parsed XML into a Swift Object

Hi!
I tried to use the ff function:

 func parseXML(data: Data) throws -> String {
        let node = try XMLNode.parse(data: data, options: [.processNamespaces])
        return node.xmlString() // returns the XML document as a string
    }

I received the xml document as a string which is great.

Wondering if we support setting the XML attribute as a property of swift class or struct? Similar to XMLParserDelegate or XMLParser? I believe that XMLParser is not yet available in Skip so are there any recommendations to parse data from XML as an object and not a string?

Example:

class RssItem : NSObject {

var title:String = "";
var link:String = "";

var images:AnyObject = NSMutableArray();

}
