libxo - A Library for Generating Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output

The libxo library allows an application to generate text, XML, JSON,

and HTML output using a common set of function calls.  The application

decides at run time which output style should be produced.  The

application calls a function "xo_emit" to product output that is

described in a format string.  A "field descriptor" tells libxo what

the field is and what it means.

Imagine a simplified ``wc`` that emits its output fields in a single

xo_emit call:

```

    xo_emit(" {:lines/%7ju/%ju} {:words/%7ju/%ju} "

            "{:characters/%7ju/%ju}{d:filename/%s}\n",

            line_count, word_count, char_count, file);

```

Output can then be generated in various style, using the "--libxo"

option: 

```

    % wc /etc/motd

          25     165    1140 /etc/motd

    % wc --libxo xml,pretty,warn /etc/motd

    

      

        /etc/motd

        25

        165

        1140

      

    

    % wc --libxo json,pretty,warn /etc/motd

    {

      "wc": {

        "file": [

          {

            "filename": "/etc/motd",

            "lines": 25,

            "words": 165,

            "characters": 1140

          }

        ]

      }

    }

    % wc --libxo html,pretty,warn /etc/motd

    


      
 

      
     25

      
 

      
    165

      
 

      
   1140

      
 

      
/etc/motd

    

```
