Parse XML Data In A Golang Application

While I don’t see a lot of it anymore, XML is still a common data format that people use. I prefer JSON, but I don’t always have a say in how I receive data. Some time ago I wrote a few tutorials on which include parsing XML data with Node.js, parsing XML data with Java, and parsing XML data with PHP. If you’ve been keeping up, I’ve been doing a lot of development with the Go programming language which is why I think it would be a great idea to go over XML in Golang.

Of the various programming languages, I think XML is the easiest to work with in the Go programming language. We’re going to see how to take XML data and unmarshal it into a custom structure. We’re also going to see how to take JSON data and convert it into XML.

With the assistance of a PHP powered web server, you can easily transform the nasty XML responses you get into something more usable like JSON.
