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
```
