question：

golang  encoding/xml: foo>bar,attr - foo ignored 

 

solution：

you can replace output result to add attr for foo 

package main

//warning: go version must >=1.6
import (
    "bytes"
    "encoding/xml"
    "fmt"
    //"runtime"
)

type Test struct {
    Play Play
    //Name CdataString `xml:"Play>Name"`
    Vast string `xml:"vast,attr"`
    Ad   string `xml:""`
}

type Play struct {
    //Id   string      `xml:"id,attr"`
    Name CdataString `xml:"Name"`
}
type CdataString struct {
    Value string `xml:",cdata"`
}

func main() {
    //fmt.Println(runtime.Version())
    name := CdataString{Value: "bbbccc"}
    //v := &Test{Id: "111", Play: Play{Id: "111", Name: name}}
    v := &Test{Play: Play{Name: name}}
    output, err := xml.MarshalIndent(v, "  ", "    ")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
    }
    //add skipoffset=”00:00:05” for Play
    output = bytes.Replace(output, []byte("<Play>"), []byte(`<Play  skipoffset="00:00:05">`), -1)
    fmt.Println(string(output))
}
