=========
The standard Scala XML library. Please file XML issues here, not at https://github.com/scala/bug/issues or http://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/issues.
The decoupling of scala-xml from the Scala compiler and standard library is possible because the compiler desugars XML literals in Scala source code into a set of method calls.
Alternative implementations of these calls are welcome!
Compiler code that shows the calls needed:
[Scala 2.11](https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/2.11.x/src/compiler/scala/tools/nsc/ast/parser/SymbolicXMLBuilder.scala),
[Scala 2.12](https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/2.12.x/src/compiler/scala/tools/nsc/ast/parser/SymbolicXMLBuilder.scala),
[Scala 2.13](https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/2.13.x/src/compiler/scala/tools/nsc/ast/parser/SymbolicXMLBuilder.scala),
[Scala 3](https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/blob/main/compiler/src/dotty/tools/dotc/parsing/xml/SymbolicXMLBuilder.scala).
API documentation is available [here](https://javadoc.io/doc/org.scala-lang.modules/scala-xml_2.13/).
How-to documentation is available in the [wiki](https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/wiki)
## Maintenance status

Contributors are welcome. Please consult the [contributor guide](https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/wiki/Contributor-guide) on the wiki.
## Issues
Some old issues from the Scala issue tracker have been migrated
here, but not all of them. Community assistance identifying and
migrating still-relevant issues is welcome. See [this
page](https://github.com/scala/scala-xml/issues/62) for details.
