Thanks for the response. I was hoping it would be possible with just xml.Unmarshal.
I now have this implementation - any comments on that? (I'm okay with returning the error inline, it's just for logging purposes): Playground: https://play.golang.org/p/6J8XndWdlv_N func id2(axl []byte) string { dec := xml.NewDecoder(bytes.NewReader(axl)) for { tok, err := dec.Token() if err != nil { if err == io.EOF { return "token not found" } return fmt.Sprintf("error decoding XML: %v", err) } if tok, ok := tok.(xml.StartElement); ok { if tok.Name.Local == "return" { var id string err := dec.DecodeElement(&id, &tok) if err != nil { return fmt.Sprintf("error decoding return element: %v", err) } return id } } } } Am Samstag, 23.
