🔧 Usage Examples
Basic Document Parsing
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"log"
"tm/ted"
)
func main() {
// Create comprehensive TED parser
parser := ted.NewTEDParser()
// Read any TED XML file
xmlData, err := ioutil.ReadFile("ted_document.xml")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Automatic detection and parsing
parsedDoc, err := parser.ParseXML(xmlData)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Get document information
document := parsedDoc.GetDocument()
fmt.Printf("Document Type: %s\n", parsedDoc.Type)
fmt.Printf("Document ID: %s\n", document.GetID())
fmt.Printf("Notice Type: %s\n", document.GetNoticeType())
fmt.Printf("Language: %s\n", document.GetLanguage())
// Validate document
if err := document.Validate(); err != nil {
log.Printf("Validation error: %v", err)
}
}
Advanced Usage by Document Type
// Handle specific document types
switch parsedDoc.Type {
case ted.DocumentTypeContractNotice:
cn := parsedDoc.ContractNotice
fmt.Printf("Tender Deadline: %s\n", cn.GetTenderDeadline())
amount, currency := cn.GetBudget()
fmt.Printf("Estimated Value: %s %s\n", amount, currency)
case ted.DocumentTypeContractAwardNotice:
can := parsedDoc.ContractAwardNotice
fmt.Printf("Award Date: %s\n", can.GetAwardDate())
amount, currency := can.GetTotalAwardValue()
fmt.Printf("Total Award: %s %s\n", amount, currency)
case ted.DocumentTypePriorInformationNotice:
pin := parsedDoc.PriorInformationNotice
fmt.Printf("Prior Information ID: %s\n", pin.GetID())
case ted.DocumentTypeDesignContest:
dc := parsedDoc.DesignContest
fmt.Printf("Design Contest ID: %s\n", dc.GetID())
if dc.ContestDesignJury != nil {
fmt.Printf("Jury Decision: %s\n", dc.ContestDesignJury.JuryDecision)
}
case ted.DocumentTypeQualificationSystemNotice:
qsn := parsedDoc.QualificationSystemNotice
fmt.Printf("Qualification System ID: %s\n", qsn.GetID())
case ted.DocumentTypeConcessionNotice:
cn := parsedDoc.ConcessionNotice
fmt.Printf("Concession ID: %s\n", cn.GetID())
if cn.ConcessionRevenue != nil {
fmt.Printf("Revenue Type: %s\n", cn.ConcessionRevenue.RevenueType)
}
case ted.DocumentTypePlanningNotice:
pn := parsedDoc.PlanningNotice
fmt.Printf("Planning ID: %s\n", pn.GetID())
fmt.Printf("Budget Lines: %d\n", len(pn.BudgetAccountLine))

sn := parsedDoc.SubcontractNotice
fmt.Printf("Subcontract ID: %s\n", sn.GetID())
fmt.Printf("Subcontract Calls: %d\n", len(sn.SubcontractCall))
}
Working with Organizations and Extensions
// Extract organization information (works for all notice types)
if doc := parsedDoc.GetDocument(); doc != nil {
// Type assertion for specific methods
if notice, ok := doc.(*ted.ContractNotice); ok {
orgs := notice.GetOrganizations()
if orgs != nil {
fmt.Printf("Organizations: %d\n", len(orgs.Organization))
for _, org := range orgs.Organization {
if org.Company != nil && org.Company.PartyName != nil {
fmt.Printf("- %s\n", org.Company.PartyName.Name)
}
}
}
// Get publication information
pub := notice.GetPublicationInfo()
if pub != nil {
fmt.Printf("Publication ID: %s\n", pub.NoticePublicationID)
fmt.Printf("OJS ID: %s\n", pub.GazetteID)
fmt.Printf("Publication Date: %s\n", pub.PublicationDate)
}
}
}
🔍 Document Type Detection
The parser includes intelligent document type detection:
// Detect document type without parsing
docType, err := parser.DetectDocumentType(xmlData)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Detected document type: %s\n", docType)
// Parse specific type if known
switch docType {
case ted.DocumentTypeContractNotice:
notice, err := parser.ParseXMLAsContractNotice(xmlData)
case ted.DocumentTypePriorInformationNotice:
notice, err := parser.ParseXMLAsPriorInformationNotice(xmlData)
case ted.DocumentTypeDesignContest:
notice, err := parser.ParseXMLAsDesignContest(xmlData)
// ... other specific parsers available
}
✅ Comprehensive Validation
All notice types include thorough validation:
// Validate any notice type
err := notice.Validate()
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Validation failed: %v", err)
}
