abd50de296c129bbb4def693a6f1ebb66d6221f6 xml: add Marshal and MarshalIndent
I have written up a Marshal and MarshalIndent pair that should
closely reflect the way that Unmarshal works. I would love feedback
on making this code more accessible and efficient... I haven't used
reflecton on this scale before, so there is probably a lot of work
that can be done on that.
Some potentially controversial things:
- All tag names are lower-cased by default.
- Zero-valued struct values are skipped.
- No namespace prefix (o:tag, etc) mechanism is supplied.
- You are allowed to marshal non-struct values (even though unmarshal
cannot handle them).
- A tag for a non-XMLName struct field that isn't "attr", "chardata",
or "innerxml" is used as the name of the tag. This could wreak
havoc if you try to marshal a protobuf struct.
- The "innerxml" and "chardata" are inserted verbatim. If you try to
marshal something straight from unmarshal, the results could be
unexpected (remove "innerxml" support from Marshal would be one
possible solution).
