fn pub static new(indent: String) -> Generator {
  Generator(buffer: StringBuffer.new, indent: indent)
}

fn pub static new(indent: String) -> Generator

Returns a new Generator that formats the XML with the given indentation

Examples

Generating XML without any indentation:

import builder.xml.(Document, Generator)

let doc = Document.new

doc.element('person').with fn (p) { p.element('name') }

Generator
  .new(indent: '')
  .generate(doc) # => '<person><name></name></person>'

Using two spaces for indentation:

import builder.xml.(Document, Generator)

let doc = Document.new

doc.element('person').with fn (p) { p.element('name') }

Generator
  .new(indent: '  ')
  .generate(doc) # => "<person>\n  <name></name>\n</person>"

fn pub move generate(document: ref Document) -> String {
  # Inko Strings are UTF-8, so by definition the generated document is also in
  # UTF-8.
  @buffer.push('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>')

  if indent? { @buffer.push('\n') }

  document.nodes.iter.each(fn (node) { node(node, depth: 0) })
  @buffer.into_string
}
