generate(any, opts \\ [])

View Source 
@spec generate(
  XmlBuilder.Element.ast(),
  keyword()
) :: String.t()

Generate a binary from an XML tree. Accepts optional parameters

  • format: Format.Module.Name to specify the formatter to use, the format parameter might be shortened to :none and :indented for built-in formatters

  • empty: :full | :squeezed to not shorten empty tags <foo></foo> to <foo/>, :full will preserve the indentation, :squeezed would produce closing tag immediately after the opening one, without spaces

Returns a binary.
