How to unmarshal XML attributes with colons?

Question

Answer 1

Your example fragment is not quite correct, since it does not include an XML namespace binding for the xlink: prefix. What you probably want is:

<g xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <a xlink:href="http://example.com" data-bind="121">lala</a>
</g>

You can unmarshal this attribute using the namespace URL:

XlinkHref string `xml:"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink href,attr"`

Here is an updated copy of your example program with the namespace fix.
