What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A lightweight, pure Go library that represents XML documents as element trees, inspired by Python's ElementTree. It supports parsing, creating, modifying, serializing XML, and querying with XPath-like APIs.

Use cases

  • parse xml files in go
  • query xml with xpath-like expressions
  • create xml documents from scratch
  • modify and re-serialize xml
  • pretty-print xml with indentation
  • traverse xml element trees

When to choose

  • you need an easy, ElementTree-style XML API in Go
  • you want a pure-Go dependency with no external libraries
  • you need lightweight XPath-like querying without full XPath

When to avoid

  • you need full, standards-compliant XPath support
  • you need schema validation (XSD) or DTD validation
  • you need streaming parsing of very large XML documents
