rustHow to serialize struct to xml in Rust

Serializing a struct to XML in Rust can be done using the serde crate.

Example code

use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Person {
    name: String,
    age: u8,
}

fn main() {
    let person = Person {
        name: "John".to_string(),
        age: 30,
    };

    let xml = serde_xml_rs::to_string(&person).unwrap();
    println!("{}", xml);
}

Output example

<Person><name>John</name><age>30</age></Person>

The code above uses the serde crate to serialize a struct to XML. The #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] attribute is used to enable serialization and deserialization of the struct. The serde_xml_rs::to_string function is then used to serialize the struct to XML.
