在Go中解析格式错误的xml文件

Question

I have a large number of xml files to parse that contain unclosed tags wrapped in closed tags. Something like below:

<submission>
<first-name>Henry
<last-name>Donald
<id>4224
</submission>

I set decoder.Strict = false but it is still unable to parse the entire xml file properly.

type Submission struct {
    FirstName string `xml:"first-name"`
    LastName  string `xml:"last-name"`
    ID        string `xml:"id"`
}

func main() {
    dec := xml.NewDecoder(bytes.NewReader([]byte(sub)))
    dec.Strict = false
    dec.AutoClose = xml.HTMLAutoClose
    dec.Entity = xml.HTMLEntity

    var s Submission
    err := dec.Decode(&s)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(s)
}

I know there is a html tokenizer that I may try using but I would prefer to use the XML package as the majority of the files are properly formatted.

No ways around it. You need your own decoder: http://play.golang.org/p/Kr7nq64f-c
