[Question] Support for optionals?

[SirWellington]

Is there any way to use this library with optional elements. So for example, if I have a name element that should be added only if the field is optional?

data class Person(val firstName: String, val lastName: String?)

lastName=Smith

<Person>
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<LastName>Smith</LastName>
</Person>

lastName=null

<Person>
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
</Person>

Hey @SirWellington ,

You can achieve that by just wrapping the LastName element in an if.

xml("Person") {
    "FirstName"(person.firstName)
    if (person.lastName != null) {
        "LastName"(person.lastName)
    }
}

Or fancier

xml("Person") {
    "FirstName"(person.firstName)
    person.lastName?.run { "LastName"(this) }
}

Does that answer your question?
