ImportError: cannot import name 'XmlEncoder'

[shreyash]

I have following installed in my virtual env

ydk                             0.8.5.post2

ydk-models-cisco-ios-xr         7.5.1       

ydk-models-cisco-thinxr-install 6.5.1       

ydk-models-ietf                 0.1.5.post2

ydk-models-openconfig           0.1.6.post1

ydk-service-gnmi                0.4.0.post5

```

from ydk.providers.codec_provider import XmlEncoder

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

ImportError: cannot import name 'XmlEncoder'
```

Is XmlEncoder not a part of ydk package anymore now?

Hi Shreyash

There is no such class in the YDK as XmlEncoder. Not sure where did you get such info, please share with me. For conversion from Entity child to XML there are multiple tools:

1. The simplest one is XmlSubtreeCodec. Please check documentation on how to use it.

2. More comprehensive is CodecService with CodecServiceProvider. You can find multiple examples on how to use it here.
