Gin: How to render XML attributes?

[windweller]

I'm using a website's REST API and they require me to send a XML as response! I checked out their documentation, and found out this:

<Response>
    <Message src="12023222222" dst="15671234567" type="sms"
            callbackUrl="http://foo.com/sms_status/" callbackMethod="POST">
    Hi, Message from Plivo
    </Message>
</Response>

Is there anyway to specify or attach attributes using gin's renderer?
I also found this library: https://github.com/unrolled/render, which claims that they use Martini's renderer. Could this library work with Gin as well?

Yes it works with Gin, it even has examples in the README on how to use it with Gin.

LOL did not read it that far, THANKS!

Does Gin render XML attributes by default though?

[slimmy]

Yes it does (https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin/blob/master/render/xml.go) it uses the Go stdlib to do so.
Examples from README https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin#xml-and-json-rendering

@windweller I recommend you to avoid using that external render since it does not have any advantage.

Gin already provides well tested and optimized methods (using the standard library)

type ExampleXml struct {
    XMLName xml.Name `xml:"example"`
    One     string   `xml:"one,attr"`
    Two     string   `xml:"two,attr"`
}

func handler(c *gin.Context) {
    c.XML(http.StatusOK, ExampleXml{One: "hello", Two: "xml"})
}

you do not need external packages.

Thank you @manucorporat !
