golang xml parsing with CDATA and a colon in the keyname

[Sankar]

Hi,

I have the following go code.

type Root struct {

Source Source 

}

type Source struct {

Data string `xml:"encoding"`

}

func main() {

x := `<root><source:encoding><![CDATA[Hello]]></source:encoding></root>`

r := Root {}

_ = xml.Unmarshal([]byte(x), &r)

fmt.Println(r.Source)

}

I want to get the string "Hello" into the Source member (by changing it to string) or Data member. What should I do for this ? If the "<source" xml element does not have the ":encoding" part in it, I can successfully get the string "Hello" read. Can someone help me with this ?

Thanks a lot

Sankar

source:encoding is not an element named "source," it's an element named "encoding" with a "source" namespace.

package main

import "fmt"

import "encoding/xml"

type Root struct {

Source Source `xml:"encoding"`

}

type Source struct {

Data string `xml:",chardata"`

}

func main() {

x := `<root><source:encoding><![CDATA[Hello]]></source:encoding></root>`

r := Root {}

xml.Unmarshal([]byte(x), &r)

fmt.Println(r)
