When I use a struct like
type MyStruct struct {
XMLName xml.Name
Attrs []xml.Attrs `xml:",attr,any"`
}
The Namespace taken from the xmlns-attribute is both an attribute in Attrs and the value of XMLName.Space. That is unfortunate, because I'd expect, that Attrs only contains only attributes, that are not handled elsewhere
Even worse, when I marshal and unmarshal an XML I'd expect to get the same XML. Instead I get something, that looks broken. xmlns is doubled
package main
import (
"encoding/xml"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
var Foo struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:""`
Attr []xml.Attr `xml:",attr,any"`
} = struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:""`
Attr []xml.Attr `xml:",attr,any"`
}{}
str := `
<foo xmlns="bar"/>
`
fmt.Println(str)
xml.Unmarshal([]byte(str), &Foo)
b, _ := xml.Marshal(&Foo)
fmt.Println(string(b))
}
https://play.golang.org/p/ulWy-Paha2
Results in
<foo xmlns="bar"/>
<foo xmlns="bar" xmlns="bar"></foo>
How can I avoid this? Is there's a way to tell the decoder to simply ignore certain attributes completely?
