Just based on a quick check, it looks like the `validate`
method used in your example is just about strictly correct XML
-- does the library provide any support for validating messages
against a schema?
Yes, we will add valid() function to check it.
And -- mostly out of curiosity -- what are the major
differences compared to other D XML libraries such as
experimental.xml
<https://github.com/dlang-community/experimental.xml> and dxml
<https://github.com/jmdavis/dxml> ... ?
Hunt XML: Easier to use API. It's like dom4j..
Have comments like XmlElement, XmlAttribute, XmlIgnore and more ..
## Sample code for it
```D
import hunt.xml;
@XmlRootElement("user")
class User
{
@XmlAttribute("ID")
int id = 1001;
@XmlElement("USERNAME")
string name;
}
void main()
{
auto user = new User;
user.id = 10000;
user.name = "Brian";
auto doc = toDocument(user);
writeln(doc.toPrettyString());
}
```
## Result for sample code
```xml
<user ID="1002">
<USERNAME>Brian</USERNAME>
</user>
```
