    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.
