This plugin is a storage plugin allowing Elektra to read and write xml formatted files. It uses the libelektratools xml format.

This plugin can be used for migration of Key Databases, e.g. from 0.7 -> 0.8.

## Dependencies

- `libxml2-dev`

## Restrictions

This plugin has a difficult time recognizing whether a key has a null value or an empty value.

## Examples

Mount an xml file using `xmltools`:

        kdb mount /etc/example.xml system/example xmltool

Using an xml as export format:

        kdb export system/example xmltool > backup.xml
