Better error diagnostics #17

Open RanolP opened 2 years ago

RanolP commented 2 years ago

Consider beauty diagnostic reporting crates such as:

ariadne
codespan-reporting
annotate-snippets
language-reporting
miette

I chose quick-xml because

It is a long-lived library
It has more stars than others
Its features are enough for me

But

It is not maintained well. Its latest stable release is about 1 year ago. Also, the repository does not have commits in the past 3 months.
it provides poor support for getting error location when using derive macro. So we cannot use the libraries listed above (but actually this problem is widely shared across various libraries).

So we could consider another library. Maybe we could change the language itself (see #22)
