Marshalling XML in GOlang: field is empty (APPEND doesn't work?)

Question

i\'m learning to create XML in Go. Here\'s my code:

type Request struct {
    XMLName       xml.Name        `xml:\"request\"`
    Action        string                


        

Answer 1

The members that you want to marshal have to be exported (capitalized). Try:

type point struct {
    Geo    string `xml:"point"`
    Radius int    `xml:"radius,attr"`
}

From the encoding/xml doc:

The XML element for a struct contains marshalled elements for each of the exported fields of the struct.

Because Unmarshal uses the reflect package, it can only assign to exported (upper case) fields.
