Support NodeSeq about scalatags HOT 6 CLOSED

Scalatags supports outputing a tree of Dom elements: https://github.com/lihaoyi/scalatags#dom-backend. Would that be sufficient?

I purposely got rid of the Scala-XML dependency. Can you just toString it and parse it?

You could also subclass Bundle and add your own Bundle[xml.Element, xml.Element]. That's not hard, but it'd be more work than just stringifying and parsing the damn thing =P

In my project, I validate the output scalatags with the Nu Validator which is necessary because HTML5 is NOT XML. Works For Me.

Note that Scalatags outputs XTML and not HTML5. Not sure how materially different this will be for you, but that's the way it is

I would really like to plug it in to my existing projects, which all use Liftweb with Scala-XML. I did think about toString and then parsing, but this feels a bit clunky and I imagine would be slow.

Subclassing Bundle sounds like the way to go, I'll look into that, do you have any examples?

from scalatags.

Don't imagine, go benchmark it!

An example of a custom bundle is
https://github.com/lihaoyi/scalatags/tree/master/js/src/main/scala/scalatags

Which instead of constructing Strings, constructs dom.Elements You basically have to subclass Bundle and provide all the things it asks you to implement. Kind of boilerplatey, and maybe tricky getting the types to line up, but once the compiler is happy it should work
