     17 // BUG(rsc): Mapping between XML elements and data structures is inherently flawed:
     18 // an XML element is an order-dependent collection of anonymous
     19 // values, while a data structure is an order-independent collection
     20 // of named values.
     21 // See package json for a textual representation more suitable
     22 // to data structures.
     23 
     24 // Unmarshal parses the XML-encoded data and stores the result in
     25 // the value pointed to by v, which must be an arbitrary struct,
     26 // slice, or string. Well-formed data that does not fit into v is
     27 // discarded.
     28 //
     29 // Because Unmarshal uses the reflect package, it can only assign
     30 // to exported (upper case) fields. Unmarshal uses a case-sensitive
     31 // comparison to match XML element names to tag values and struct
     32 // field names.
     33 //
     34 // Unmarshal maps an XML element to a struct using the following rules.
     35 // In the rules, the tag of a field refers to the value associated with the
     36 // key 'xml' in the struct field's tag (see the example above).
     37 //
     38 //   * If the struct has a field of type []byte or string with tag
     39 //      ",innerxml", Unmarshal accumulates the raw XML nested inside the
     40 //      element in that field. The rest of the rules still apply.
     41 //
     42 //   * If the struct has a field named XMLName of type Name,
     43 //      Unmarshal records the element name in that field.
     44 //
     45 //   * If the XMLName field has an associated tag of the form
     46 //      "name" or "namespace-URL name", the XML element must have
     47 //      the given name (and, optionally, name space) or else Unmarshal
     48 //      returns an error.
     49 //
     50 //   * If the XML element has an attribute whose name matches a
     51 //      struct field name with an associated tag containing ",attr" or
     52 //      the explicit name in a struct field tag of the form "name,attr",
     53 //      Unmarshal records the attribute value in that field.
     54 //
     55 //   * If the XML element has an attribute not handled by the previous
     56 //      rule and the struct has a field with an associated tag containing
     57 //      ",any,attr", Unmarshal records the attribute value in the first
     58 //      such field.
     59 //
     60 //   * If the XML element contains character data, that data is
     61 //      accumulated in the first struct field that has tag ",chardata".
     62 //      The struct field may have type []byte or string.
     63 //      If there is no such field, the character data is discarded.
     64 //
     65 //   * If the XML element contains comments, they are accumulated in
     66 //      the first struct field that has tag ",comment".  The struct
     67 //      field may have type []byte or string. If there is no such
     68 //      field, the comments are discarded.
     69 //
     70 //   * If the XML element contains a sub-element whose name matches
     71 //      the prefix of a tag formatted as "a" or "a>b>c", unmarshal
     72 //      will descend into the XML structure looking for elements with the
     73 //      given names, and will map the innermost elements to that struct
     74 //      field. A tag starting with ">" is equivalent to one starting
     75 //      with the field name followed by ">".
     76 //
     77 //   * If the XML element contains a sub-element whose name matches
     78 //      a struct field's XMLName tag and the struct field has no
     79 //      explicit name tag as per the previous rule, unmarshal maps
     80 //      the sub-element to that struct field.
     81 //
     82 //   * If the XML element contains a sub-element whose name matches a
     83 //      field without any mode flags (",attr", ",chardata", etc), Unmarshal
     84 //      maps the sub-element to that struct field.
     85 //
     86 //   * If the XML element contains a sub-element that hasn't matched any
     87 //      of the above rules and the struct has a field with tag ",any",
     88 //      unmarshal maps the sub-element to that struct field.
     89 //
     90 //   * An anonymous struct field is handled as if the fields of its
     91 //      value were part of the outer struct.
     92 //
     93 //   * A struct field with tag "-" is never unmarshaled into.
     94 //
     95 // Unmarshal maps an XML element to a string or []byte by saving the
     96 // concatenation of that element's character data in the string or
     97 // []byte. The saved []byte is never nil.
