xml.Unmarshal Question

[Francisco Diaz Trepat - gmail]

Hi all, Gustavo (so long man, hope you are awesome)

I have a problem with an xml (its late at night and cannot see the issue). I have elements/element subcollection and I read perfectly the first element but not the two subcollection of elements.

I have this xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<myElments xmlns="http://platform.tendrilinc.com/tnop/extension/ems"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://platform.tendrilinc.com/tnop/extension/ems extensions/ems-utility-info.xsd"

count="1">

<myElment>

<StartDate>2009-05-25</StartDate>

<EndDate>2009-06-25</EndDate>

<asOfDate>2009-06-11T10:00:00.000</asOfDate>

<numberX>385.00</numberX>

<numberY>1550</numberY>

<numberZ>195.00</numberZ>

<mySubStructA>

<value>200</value>

<units>points</units>

</mySubStructA>

<mySubStructB id="A">

<value>1550</value>

<units>kWh</units>

</mySubStructB>

<costBucket id="A">

<value>195.00</value>

<units>US Dollar</units>

</costBucket>

</myElment>

<myElment>

<StartDate>2009-05-25</StartDate>

<EndDate>2009-06-25</EndDate>

<asOfDate>2009-06-11T10:00:00.000</asOfDate>

<numberX>385.00</numberX>

<numberY>16436</numberY>

<numberZ>145.73</numberZ>

<mySubStructA>

<value>100</value>

<units>dollars</units>

</mySubStructA>

<mySubStructB id="A">

<value>16436</value>

<units>kWh</units>

</mySubStructB>

<costBucket id="A">

<value>145.73</value>

<units>US Dollar</units>

</costBucket>

</myElment>

</myElments>

And this is my program (I replaced the names because it is for a company issue, and no want no trouble dudes :-) ):

package main

import (

"encoding/xml"

"fmt"

"os"

)

type MyElements struct {

XMLName xml.Name `xml:"myElments"`

Count   int      `xml:"count,attr"`

TrueUps []TrueUp

}

type MyElement struct {

XMLName      xml.Name       `xml:"myElment"`

StartDate    string         `xml:"StartDate"`

EndDate      string         `xml:"EndDate"`

AsOfDate     string         `xml:"asOfDate"`

numberX      float32        `xml:"numberX"`

numberY      int            `xml:"numberY'`

numberZ      float32        `xml:"numberZ"`

MySubStructA []MySubStructA `xml:"mySubStructA"` // this xml:blah I also tried to put it in the struct as XMLName xml.Name etc

MySubStructB []MySubStructB `xml:"mySubStructB"` // this xml:blah I also tried to put it in the struct as XMLName xml.Name etc

}

type MySubStructA struct {

Value int    `xml:"value"`

Units string `xml:"units"`

}

type mySubStructB struct {

Id    string `xml:"id,attr"`

Value int    `xml:"value"`

Units string `xml:"units"`

}

func main() {

var bytes []byte

var myelements MyElements

Fp, err := os.Open("/home/francisco/Workspace/go/src/mycompany/ingestor/myElments.xml")

if err != nil {

fmt.Println(err)

os.Exit(0)

}

FStat, err := Fp.Stat()

bytes = make([]byte, FStat.Size())

_, err = Fp.Read(bytes)

if err != err {

fmt.Println(err)

os.Exit(0)

}

xml.Unmarshal(bytes, &myelements)

fmt.Println(myelements)

fmt.Println("Count: %i", myelements.Count)

fmt.Println("Trueups: %v", myelements.MyElements)

fmt.Println("Trueups.Count: %d", len(myelements.MyElements))

}

f(t)

Hi Francisco,

Thanks, it's all good here. Hope things are running well for you too.

I know the feeling. I suggest waking up rested, getting a good cup of
tea, and having a look at it with a fresh brain. It works fine, but
you've clearly never run the code you've pasted, so I can't even tell
what you're getting wrong.
