Method DecodeElement

server/webdav/internal/xml/read.go:127–133

DecodeElement works like xml.Unmarshal except that it takes a pointer to the start XML element to decode into v. It is useful when a client reads some raw XML tokens itself but also wants to defer to Unmarshal for some elements.

(v interface{}, start *StartElement)

// It is useful when a client reads some raw XML tokens itself
// but also wants to defer to Unmarshal for some elements.
func (d *Decoder) DecodeElement(v interface{}, start *StartElement) error {
	val := reflect.ValueOf(v)
	if val.Kind() != reflect.Ptr {
		return errors.New("non-pointer passed to Unmarshal")
	}
	return d.unmarshal(val.Elem(), start)
}

// An UnmarshalError represents an error in the unmarshalling process.
type UnmarshalError string
