This is bare-bones and is missing many features which we intend to add
in future commits, such as parsing from attributes whose names differ
from the field names and parsing into non-String types.
Well, not really, of course. All of this will make sense once we start
adding support for fields and non-struct types. Refactoring the code now
before we start to add actual member field parsing is much easier.
How do I know that this will work out? Well, my crystal ball knows it.
Don't believe me? Okay, ChatGPT told me ... Alright alright, I went
through the entire process of implementing this feature *twice* at this
point and have a pretty good idea of where to draw the abstraction lines
so that everything falls neatly into place. You'll have to trust me on
this one.
(Or, you know, check out old branches in my xmpp-rs repo. That might
work, too. `feature/derive-macro-streaming-full` might be a name to look
for if you dare.)
If we are going to support structs with fields, it would be good to have
that struct-related code organised a little and less splashed over the
main lib.rs file.
This is a large change and as such, it needs good motivation. Let me
remind you of the ultimate goal: we want a derive macro which allows us
to FromXml/IntoXml, and that derive macro should be usable from
`xmpp_parsers` and other crates.
For that, any code generated by the derive macro mustn't depend on any
code in the `xmpp_parsers` crate, because you cannot name the crate you
are in portably (`xmpp_parsers::..` wouldn't resolve within
`xmpp_parsers`, and `crate::..` would point at other crates if the macro
was used in other crates).
We also want to interoperate with code already implementing
`TryFrom<Element>` and `Into<Element>` on structs. This ultimately
requires that we have an error type which is shared by the two
implementations and that error type must be declared in the `xso` crate
to be usable by the macros.
Thus, we port the error type over to use the type declared in `xso`.
This changes the structure of the error type greatly; I do not think
that `xso` should have to know about all the different types we are
parsing there and they don't deserve special treatment. Wrapping them in
a `Box<dyn ..>` seems more appropriate.
The CI makes that an error anyway, and this allows developers to start
sketching stuff without running into errors all the time (and then
adding `/// TODO` to work around them).
Just like with the builder type, the concrete iterator type on IntoXml
is supposed to be an implementation detail. That allows switching freely
between various ways to generate such a type.

This adds shims which provide FromXml and IntoXml implementations to
*all* macro-generated types in `xmpp_parsers`. Mind that this does not
cover all types in `xmpp_parsers`, but a good share of them.
This is another first step toward real, fully streamed parsing.
This library provides the traits to parse structs from XML and
serialise them into XML without having to buffer the document object
model in memory.
The only implementations it provides are for minidom, basically
providing a lower-level interface to `minidom::Element::from_reader` and
`minidom::Element::to_writer`.
This is the first stepping stone into a world where `xmpp_parsers` can
parse the structs directly from XML.

Looking at [the spec](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0004.html#protocol-field)
it seems valid not to have a `var` attribute set, at least for fields of type
`fixed` that is:
> If the element type is anything other than "fixed" (see below), it MUST
> possess a 'var' attribute that uniquely identifies the field in the context
> of the form (if it is "fixed", it MAY possess a 'var' attribute). The element
> MAY possess a 'label' attribute that defines a human-readable name for the field.
Nightly rust complains about `cfg(..)` tests against undeclared
features and other unknown cfgs. They need to be explicitly declared
now.
The nightly/stable features don't exist, so I removed them and
substitutes the currently correct number for the single test where they
were used.
The `xmpprs_doc_build` cfg flag is now declared as expectable.
xmpp-rs normally has the stance to get buggy implementations fixed
rather than dropping checks. In this particular case I think this is not
a good use of resources:
- The disco#info feature var conveys no actual information:
If an implementation replies properly to a disco#info query, it is
already implied that it supports the protocol.
- There are broken server implementations out there.
A lot of them (all recent (>= 0.10 && < 0.13 AFAICT) Prosody IM
instances). At this point in time, xmpp-rs is unable to query
disco#info from MUCs hosted on such prosody versions, except by
workarounds (such as the one removed in this diff).
- XEP-0030 now features a note which reads:
> Note: Some entities are known not to advertise the
> `http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info` feature within their
> responses, contrary to this specification. Entities receiving
> otherwise valid responses which do not include this feature SHOULD
> infer the support.
The case would be different if there were no (deployed) implementations
which had this bug or if the bug actually had an effect on clients.
Especially the latter is not the case though, as pointed out above.
Hence, I conclude that this check is overly pedantic and the resources
(time, emotional energy of dealing with bugs, punching patches through
to stable distributions, etc. etc.) spent on getting this fixed would
be better invested elsewhere.
In addition, the workaround is extremely ugly and, even in the xmpp-rs
implementation, has no test coverage. Without test coverage of such an
implementation, it is bound to break in funny ways when xmpp-rs changes
the strings of its error messages (which is something one might do even
outside a breaking release).
rxml 0.10.0 (and earlier) had a bug which caused it to reject valid XML
documents if an UTF-8 sequence straddled the token size boundary (8192
bytes by default) of a text event.
This is necessary because `into_inner()` as implemented on Jid
consumes the value. That means it cannot be called through Deref
(because that only takes a reference).
