This is a large change and as such, it needs good motivation. Let me
remind you of the ultimate goal: we want a derive macro which allows us
to FromXml/IntoXml, and that derive macro should be usable from
`xmpp_parsers` and other crates.
For that, any code generated by the derive macro mustn't depend on any
code in the `xmpp_parsers` crate, because you cannot name the crate you
are in portably (`xmpp_parsers::..` wouldn't resolve within
`xmpp_parsers`, and `crate::..` would point at other crates if the macro
was used in other crates).
We also want to interoperate with code already implementing
`TryFrom<Element>` and `Into<Element>` on structs. This ultimately
requires that we have an error type which is shared by the two
implementations and that error type must be declared in the `xso` crate
to be usable by the macros.
Thus, we port the error type over to use the type declared in `xso`.
This changes the structure of the error type greatly; I do not think
that `xso` should have to know about all the different types we are
parsing there and they don't deserve special treatment. Wrapping them in
a `Box<dyn ..>` seems more appropriate.
This allows constructs like:
```rust
let residual = match Iq::try_from(stanza) {
Ok(iq) => return handle_iq(..),
Err(Error::TypeMismatch(_, _, v)) => v,
Err(other) => return handle_parse_error(..),
};
let residual = match Message::try_from(stanza) {
..
};
let residual = ..
log::warn!("unhandled object: {:?}", residual);
```
The interesting part of this is that this could be used in a loop over a
Vec<Box<dyn FnMut(Element) -> ControlFlow<SomeResult, Element>>, i.e. in
a parsing loop for a generic XML/XMPP stream.
The advantage is that the stanza.is() check runs only once (in
check_self!) and doesn't need to be duplicated outside, and it reduces
the use of magic strings.
Version 0.21 replaced base64::decode() with an Engine trait and multiple
structs implementing it for various alphabets, various performance
profiles, etc. It is slightly longer to import but in the end does the
very same thing.
