yaml to xml

To convert YAML to XML, you can use a programming language that supports both YAML and XML parsing. Here's an example in Python using the PyYAML and xml.etree.ElementTree libraries:

import yaml
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

def yaml_to_xml(yaml_data):
    # Load YAML data
    data = yaml.safe_load(yaml_data)

    # Create the root XML element
    root = ET.Element("root")

    # Recursively convert YAML to XML
    def convert(data, parent):
        if isinstance(data, dict):
            for key, value in data.items():
                element = ET.SubElement(parent, key)
                convert(value, element)
        elif isinstance(data, list):
            for item in data:
                convert(item, parent)
        else:
            parent.text = str(data)

    # Convert YAML to XML
    convert(data, root)

    # Create the XML tree and return it as a string
    tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
    return ET.tostring(root, encoding="unicode")

# Example usage
yaml_data = """
person:
  name: John Doe
  age: 30
"""

xml_data = yaml_to_xml(yaml_data)
print(xml_data)

This code defines a `yaml_to_xml` function that takes a YAML string as input and returns the corresponding XML string. It uses the PyYAML library to parse the YAML data and xml.etree.ElementTree library to create the XML structure. The function recursively converts the YAML data into XML elements and attributes.
