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.

xo_emit(" {:lines/%7ju/%ju} {:words/%7ju/%ju} "
        "{:characters/%7ju/%ju}{d:filename/%s}\n",
        linect, wordct, charct, 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
<wc>
  <file>
    <filename>/etc/motd</filename>
    <lines>25</lines>
    <words>165</words>
    <characters>1140</characters>
  </file>
</wc>
% 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
<div class="line">
  <div class="text"> </div>
  <div class="data" data-tag="lines">     25</div>
  <div class="text"> </div>
  <div class="data" data-tag="words">    165</div>
  <div class="text"> </div>
  <div class="data" data-tag="characters">   1140</div>
  <div class="text"> </div>
  <div class="data" data-tag="filename">/etc/motd</div>
</div>
