The most swifty way to deal with XML data in swift 5.

Features

  • [x] Infinity subscript
  • [x] dynamicMemberLookup Support (use $ started string to subscript attribute)
  • [x] Optional | Non-optional value access
  • [x] Directly access Enum type value (enums extends from RawRepresentable)
  • [x] Directly for loop in XML children nodes
  • [x] Accurate error throwing
  • [x] XML construct, formatting
  • [x] Single source file

Sample XML:

<catalog>
	<product description="Cardigan Sweater" product_image="cardigan.jpg" >
		<catalog_item gender="Men's" >
			<item_number>QWZ5671</item_number>
			<price>39.95</price>
			<size description="Medium" >
				<color_swatch image="red_cardigan.jpg" >Red</color_swatch>
				<color_swatch image="burgundy_cardigan.jpg" >Burgundy</color_swatch>
			</size>
			<size description="Large" >
				<color_swatch image="red_cardigan.jpg" >Red</color_swatch>
				<color_swatch image="burgundy_cardigan.jpg" >Burgundy</color_swatch>
			</size>
		</catalog_item>
		<catalog_item gender="Women's" >
			<item_number>RRX9856</item_number>
			<price>42.50</price>
			<size description="Small" >
				<color_swatch image="red_cardigan.jpg" >Red</color_swatch>
				<color_swatch image="navy_cardigan.jpg" >Navy</color_swatch>
				<color_swatch image="burgundy_cardigan.jpg" >Burgundy</color_swatch>
			</size>
		</catalog_item>
	</product>
</catalog>

With SwiftyXML all you have to do is:

let xml = XML(string: xmlContent)
let color0 = xml.product.catalog_item.size.color_swatch.1.string //"Burgundy"
// notice that, we use "$" prefix for subscript attribute
let description0 = xml.product.catalog_item.size.1.$description.string //"Large"

This is same as below, SwiftyXML will auto pick the first element as default:

let xml = XML(data: xmlFileData)
let color = xml.product.0.catalog_item.0.size.0.color_swatch.1.string //return "Burgundy"

What about if you input some wrong keys:

let xml = XML(data: xmlFileData)
// print the error
if let color1 = xml.product.catalog_item.wrong_size.wrong_color.1.xml {
    // do stuff ~
    print(color1)
} else {
    print(xml.product.catalog_item.wrong_size.wrong_color.1.error) //.product.0.catalog_item.0: no such children named: "wrong_size"
}

Manually
  1. Download and drop ``XML.swift`` into your project.
  2. Congratulations!
Swift Package Manager

You can use The Swift Package Manager to install SwiftyXML by adding the proper description to your Package.swift file:

.package(url: "https://github.com/chenyunguiMilook/SwiftyXML.git", from: "3.0.2")

Usage

Initialization
import SwiftyXML
let xml = XML(data: xmlFileData)
Access XML and print out the error
if let color1 = xml.product.catalog_item.wrong_size.wrong_color.1.xml {
    // do stuff ~
    print(color1)
} else {
    print(xml.product.catalog_item.wrong_size.wrong_color.1.error)
}
Catch the error
// catch the error
do {
    let color = try xml.product.catalog_item.wrong_size.wrong_color.1.getXML()
    print(color)
} catch {
    print(error)
}
Access XML List
// handle xml list
for catalog in xml.product.catalog_item {
    for size in catalog.size {
        print(size.$description.stringValue)
    }
}
Read Enums
// read enum value, Notice: enum need implements RawRepresentable
public enum Color : String {
    case Red, Navy, Burgundy
}

if let c: Color = xml.product.catalog_item.size.color_swatch.enum() {
    print(c)
}
Construct XML
let store = XML(name: "store")
    .addAttribute(name: "description", value: "Ball Store")
    .addChildren([
        // attributes can be added in the initializer
        XML(name: "product", attributes: [
            "name": "football",
            "weight": 0.453
        ])
    ])

// attributes can be added to an existing object
let product2 = XML(name: "product")
product2.addAttribute(name: "name", value: "basketball")
product2.addAttribute(name: "weight", value: 0.654)

// children can be added to an existing object
store.addChild(product2)

print(store.toXMLString())
// store xml output
<store description="Ball Store" >
	<product name="football" weight="0.453" />
	<product name="basketball" weight="0.654" />
</store>
