Take a value, then generate a string from it

Settings used by encodeWith.

• nullValue: if not omitNullTag, encode a NullNode like this.
• omitNullTag: if True, omit a tag if it has no attributes and its only content is a NullNode.

Good default settings for EncodeSettings.

Encode a string

string "hello" |> encode 0
--> "hello"


string "<hello>" |> encode 0
--> "&lt;hello&gt;"

Encode an int

int 15 |> encode 0
--> "15"

Encode a float

float 1.576 |> encode 0
--> "1.576"

Encode a bool

bool True |> encode 0
--> "true"


bool True |> encode 0
--> "true"

Encode an "object" (a tag) only allowing valid tag names

Empty contents

null |> encode 0
--> ""

Encode a list of nodes, e.g

import Dict


list [ object [ ("Root", Dict.empty, null) ], int 5 ] |> encode 0
--> "<Root></Root>\n5"

Encode content as CDATA (Character Data) for embedding HTML or other XML content

cdata "<p>This is <strong>bold</strong> text</p>" |> encode 0
--> "<![CDATA[<p>This is <strong>bold</strong> text</p>]]>"
