Here’s the translation of the XML example from Go to Haskell:
This Haskell code demonstrates XML handling using the xml-conduit and xml-conduit-writer libraries. Here’s a breakdown of the main points:
We define a Plant data type to represent our data structure.
We implement the ToXML typeclass for Plant to define how it should be serialized to XML.
The main function demonstrates creating XML, parsing XML, and creating nested XML structures.
Instead of using tags like in Go, we use the ToXML typeclass and the element and elementA functions to define the XML structure.
For parsing XML, we use the parseText function, which returns either an error or a successfully parsed document.
Nested XML structures are created by nesting calls to element.
Note that Haskell’s approach to XML handling is quite different from Go’s. Haskell uses a more declarative style, leveraging its type system and typeclasses to define how data should be serialized to and from XML.
To run this program, you would need to install the necessary libraries (text, xml-conduit, and xml-conduit-writer) using a package manager like Cabal or Stack, and then compile and run the program using GHC.
