XML

Encode and decode to and from XML. Whitespace is not conserved for round trips - but the order of the fields are.

Consecutive xml nodes with the same name are assumed to be arrays.

All values in XML are assumed to be strings - but you can use from_yaml to parse them into their correct types:

yq e -p=xml '.myNumberField |= from_yaml' my.xml
<cat name="tiger">meow</cat>

The content of the node will be set as a field in the map with the key "+content". Use the --xml-content-name flag to change this.
