## Advanced features

### Dynamic node coding

XMLCoder provides two helper protocols that allow you to customize whether
nodes are encoded as attributes or elements: `DynamicNodeEncoding` and
`DynamicNodeDecoding`.

The declarations of the protocols are very simple:

```swift
protocol DynamicNodeEncoding: Encodable {
static func nodeEncoding(for key: CodingKey) -> XMLEncoder.NodeEncoding
}

protocol DynamicNodeDecoding: Decodable {
static func nodeDecoding(for key: CodingKey) -> XMLDecoder.NodeDecoding
}
```

The values returned by corresponding `static` functions look like this:

```swift
public enum NodeDecoding {
// decodes a value from an attribute
case attribute

// decodes a value from an element
case element

// the default, attempts to decode as an element first,
// otherwise reads from an attribute
case elementOrAttribute
}

enum NodeEncoding {
// encodes a value in an attribute
case attribute

// the default, encodes a value in an element
case element

// encodes a value in both attribute and element
case both
}
```

Add conformance to an appropriate protocol for types you'd like to customize.
Accordingly, this example code:

```swift
private struct Book: Codable, Equatable, DynamicNodeEncoding {
let id: UInt
let title: String
let categories: [Category]

private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case id
case title
case categories = "category"
}

static func nodeEncoding(forKey key: CodingKey)
-> XMLEncoder.NodeEncoding {
switch key {
case Book.CodingKeys.id: return .both
default: return .element
}
}
}
```

works for this XML:

```xml
<book id="123">
<id>123</id>
<title>Cat in the Hat</title>
<category>Kids</category>
<category>Wildlife</category>
</book>
```

### Value coding key intrinsic

Suppose that you need to decode an XML that looks similar to this:

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo id="123">456</foo>
```

By default you'd be able to decode `foo` as an element, but then it's not
possible to decode the `id` attribute. `XMLCoder` handles certain `CodingKey`
values in a special way to allow proper coding for this XML. Just add a coding
key with `stringValue` that equals `"value"` or `""` (empty string). What
follows is an example type declaration that encodes the XML above, but special
handling of coding keys with those values works for both encoding and decoding.

```swift
struct Foo: Codable, DynamicNodeEncoding {
let id: String
let value: String

enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case id
case value
// case value = "" would also work
}

static func nodeEncoding(forKey key: CodingKey)
-> XMLEncoder.NodeEncoding {
switch key {
case CodingKeys.id:
return .attribute
default:
return .element
}
}
}
```
