How to create a CDATA node of xml with go?

Question

I have the following struct:

type XMLProduct struct {
    XMLName          xml.Name `xml:\"row\"`
    ProductId        string   `xml:\"product_id\"`
    ProductN

As @Tomalak mentioned, outputting CDATA is not supported.

You can probably write ![CDATA[ as xml tag and later on replace the closing tag from the resulting xml. Will this work for you? Its probably not the one with minimal costs, but easiest. You can of course replace the MarshalIndent call with just the Marshal call in the example below.

package main

import (
    "encoding/xml"
    "fmt"
    "bytes"
)

type XMLProduct struct {
    XMLName          xml.Name `xml:"row"`
    ProductId        string   `xml:"product_id"`
    ProductName      string   `xml:"![CDATA["`
    OriginalPrice    string   `xml:"original_price"`
    BargainPrice     string   `xml:"bargain_price"`
    TotalReviewCount int      `xml:"total_review_count"`
    AverageScore     float64  `xml:"average_score"`
}

func main() {
    prod := XMLProduct{
        ProductId:        "ProductId",
        ProductName:      "ProductName",
        OriginalPrice:    "OriginalPrice",
        BargainPrice:     "BargainPrice",
        TotalReviewCount: 20,
        AverageScore:     2.1}

    out, err := xml.MarshalIndent(prod, " ", "  ")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("error: %v", err)
        return
    }

    out = bytes.Replace(out, []byte(""), []byte(""), []byte("]]>"), -1)
    fmt.Println(string(out))
}
