<p>Hi folks,</p>
<p>Relatively new gopher here, but long time reader. I've written a few projects in Go but nothing too major, and definitely nothing that parses xml. So I have an app that sends XML similar to this:</p>
<pre><code><Activity>
<Type>dancing</Type>
<Timestamp>1238138422</Timestamp>
<Fruit>Banana</Fruit>
</Activity>
</code></pre>
<p>The dilemma is that since I'm reading from an HTTP stream, the XML can get cut off arbitrarily after read. I've so far come up with a hack to check if we're "inside" of the stanza by doing a Contains to see if the <Activity> or </Activity> tags are there and having a little flag, but I know there has to be a better way. </p>
<p>Can anyone lend any suggestions? (PS. This is a little side project for myself to learn more Go, its not homework, work work, or otherwise production in any way)</p>

Are you using an <code>xml.Decoder</code> on the <code>Body</code> of the HTTP response? Or doing something else?</p></pre>TheBeasSneeze: <pre><p>This package is useless for more complicated namespaced xml, no concept of xsd either. It really needs to be re-written as a dom parser like the html package.</p></pre>nefaspartim: <pre><p>And I should mention that the xml I'm parsing isn't well formed (in that it's just a bunch of fragments).</p></pre>zeiko_is_back: <pre><p>Are you not using encoding/xml?</p>

<p>If that's the case you'll probably need to <a href="http://blog.davidsingleton.org/parsing-huge-xml-files-with-go/" rel="nofollow">stream parse</a> it SAX style.</p></pre>
