Middleware for XML encoder (second try)

[AlexWayfer]

Recreation of ignored #126 (thanks to @abookyun)

Hi @AlexWayfer, thanks for resurrecting this issue! Lots of things have changed over the last years (I can see that's a pretty old ticket!) and we're now not adding any new middleware to faraday_middleware anymore. On the contrary, we're planning on moving them into their own gems.

I'd suggest you to go down that route as well. You'll be able to maintain that gem without having to rely on the faraday team!

We've recently setup a template repository to make creating new middleware really simple. Please do give it a try!

[AlexWayfer]

@iMacTia OK, thank you for detailed response. I can understand such reasonable approach. I'll try, I guess.

Would you move some third-party gems into lostisland organization or list links to them somewhere?

[iMacTia]

Ah yes good point! I forgot to mention selve also setup a discovery repo ❤️ Feel free to open a PR there to add your new middleware, it looks interesting!

As for creating the repos inside the lost island organisation, we'd only do that for gems we want to actively maintain, but I don't think that would apply in this case.

You'll be one of the first outside the core team to setup such a gem, so feel free to reach out if you encounter any issue, we'll be happy to help and it will allow us to collect feedback and improve the template repo for future uses 👍

FYI, it seems that templates work only for owners (org members):

I just don't see such button, as well as others like Create file.

(I didn't know should I wrote here about this or create an issue there, but I don't think that this is a repo issue and I didn't find "Discussions" section in template repo)

Got it.

Thank you for your kind words.

It was not setup as a template 🤦, my fault! Try again now, it should show the button

[AlexWayfer]

Oh, now I see such button!

Thank you.

I'd like to take the opportunity to say 🎉 WELCOME 🎉 and thanks for discovering all those small inconvenient things that could be improved. You have smoothed the ground for the next pioneer!
