Serializing CDATA #353
Description
My apologies if this is an inappropriate place to raise this issue.
I have the following structure that I am trying to serialize:
use serde::Serialize;
/// `Description` field for `Tag`.
#[derive(Serialize)]
pub(super) struct Description {
#[serde(rename = "$value")]
value: String,
}
impl Description {
/// Create a new `Description`.
pub(super) fn new(input: &str) -> Self {
let value = format!("<![CDATA[{}]]>", input);
Self { value }
}
}As you can see I'm wrapping it in CDATA as per a file format that I'll be writing that I have no control over. This structure is actually just part of a larger structure:
#[derive(Serialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "PascalCase")]
pub(crate) struct Tag {
name: String,
tag_type: TagType,
data_type: DataType,
dimensions: Option<usize>,
radix: Radix,
constant: Constant,
external_access: ExternalAccess,
description: Description,
}
impl Tag {
/// Return an XML `String` representation of `Tag`.
pub(crate) fn to_xml(&self) -> Result<String, DeError> {
to_string(self)
}
}Which is serializing perfectly (except for the description field):
<Tag Name="test_dint" TagType="Base" DataType="DINT" Radix="Decimal" Constant="false" ExternalAccess="Read Only"><Description><![CDATA[Test DINT]]></Description></Tag>It looks like when it serializes the CDATA portion is being escaped:
<Description><![CDATA[Test DINT]]></Description>Is there anything I can do to unescape it ?
