// BUG(rsc): Mapping between XML elements and data structures is inherently flawed:
// an XML element is an order-dependent collection of anonymous
// values, while a data structure is an order-independent collection
// of named values.
// See package json for a textual representation more suitable
// to data structures.

// Unmarshal parses the XML-encoded data and stores the result in
// the value pointed to by v, which must be an arbitrary struct,
// slice, or string. Well-formed data that does not fit into v is
// discarded.
//
// For example, given these definitions:
//
//	type Email struct {
//		Where string `xml:",attr"`
//		Addr  string
//	}
//
//	type Result struct {
//		XMLName xml.Name `xml:"result"`
//		Name	string
//		Phone	string
//		Email	[]Email
//		Groups  []string `xml:"group>value"`
//	}
//
//	result := Result{Name: "name", Phone: "phone", Email: nil}
//
// unmarshalling the XML input
//
//	<result>
//		<email where="home">
//			<addr>gre@example.com</addr>
//		</email>
//		<email where='work'>
//			<addr>gre@work.com</addr>
//		</email>
//		<name>Grace R. Emlin</name>
// 		<group>
// 			<value>Friends</value>
// 			<value>Squash</value>
// 		</group>
//		<address>123 Main Street</address>
//	</result>
//
// via Unmarshal(data, &result) is equivalent to assigning
//
//	r = Result{
//		xml.Name{Local: "result"},
//		"Grace R. Emlin", // name
//		"phone",	  // no phone given
//		[]Email{
//			Email{"home", "gre@example.com"},
//			Email{"work", "gre@work.com"},
//		},
//		[]string{"Friends", "Squash"},
//	}
//
// Note that the field r.Phone has not been modified and
// that the XML <address> element was discarded. Also, the field
// Groups was assigned considering the element path provided in the
// field tag.
//
// Because Unmarshal uses the reflect package, it can only assign
// to exported (upper case) fields.  Unmarshal uses a case-sensitive
// comparison to match XML element names to tag values and struct
// field names.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a struct using the following rules.
// In the rules, the tag of a field refers to the value associated with the
// key 'xml' in the struct field's tag (see the example above).
//
//   * If the struct has a field of type []byte or string with tag
//      ",innerxml", Unmarshal accumulates the raw XML nested inside the
//      element in that field.  The rest of the rules still apply.
//
//   * If the struct has a field named XMLName of type xml.Name,
//      Unmarshal records the element name in that field.
//
//   * If the XMLName field has an associated tag of the form
//      "name" or "namespace-URL name", the XML element must have
//      the given name (and, optionally, name space) or else Unmarshal
//      returns an error.
//
//   * If the XML element has an attribute whose name matches a
//      struct field name with an associated tag containing ",attr" or
//      the explicit name in a struct field tag of the form "name,attr",
//      Unmarshal records the attribute value in that field.
//
//   * If the XML element contains character data, that data is
//      accumulated in the first struct field that has tag "chardata".
//      The struct field may have type []byte or string.
//      If there is no such field, the character data is discarded.
//
//   * If the XML element contains comments, they are accumulated in
//      the first struct field that has tag ",comments".  The struct
//      field may have type []byte or string.  If there is no such
//      field, the comments are discarded.
//
//   * If the XML element contains a sub-element whose name matches
//      the prefix of a tag formatted as "a" or "a>b>c", unmarshal
//      will descend into the XML structure looking for elements with the
//      given names, and will map the innermost elements to that struct
//      field. A tag starting with ">" is equivalent to one starting
//      with the field name followed by ">".
//
//   * If the XML element contains a sub-element whose name matches
//      a struct field's XMLName tag and the struct field has no
//      explicit name tag as per the previous rule, unmarshal maps
//      the sub-element to that struct field.
//
//   * If the XML element contains a sub-element whose name matches a
//      field without any mode flags (",attr", ",chardata", etc), Unmarshal
//      maps the sub-element to that struct field.
//
//   * If the XML element contains a sub-element that hasn't matched any
//      of the above rules and the struct has a field with tag ",any",
//      unmarshal maps the sub-element to that struct field.
//
//   * A struct field with tag "-" is never unmarshalled into.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a string or []byte by saving the
// concatenation of that element's character data in the string or
// []byte. The saved []byte is never nil.
//
// Unmarshal maps an attribute value to a string or []byte by saving
// the value in the string or slice.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a slice by extending the length of
// the slice and mapping the element to the newly created value.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element or attribute value to a bool by
// setting it to the boolean value represented by the string.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element or attribute value to an integer or
// floating-point field by setting the field to the result of
// interpreting the string value in decimal.  There is no check for
// overflow.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to an xml.Name by recording the
// element name.
//
// Unmarshal maps an XML element to a pointer by setting the pointer
// to a freshly allocated value and then mapping the element to that value.
