Method DecodeElement

opensca/sca/java/xml/read.go:147–157

DecodeElement works like 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 any, 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 any, start *StartElement) error {
	val := reflect.ValueOf(v)
	if val.Kind() != reflect.Pointer {
		return errors.New("non-pointer passed to Unmarshal")
	}

	if val.IsNil() {
		return errors.New("nil pointer passed to Unmarshal")
	}
	return d.unmarshal(val.Elem(), start, 0)
}

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