I'm trying to learn to use clojure to parse a wordpress XML and generate markdown files for each one.

core.clj

; add a basic namespace, I guess
(ns thingo.core)

(require '[clojure.java.io :as io])
(require '[clojure.xml :as xml])
(require '[clojure.zip :as zip])
(require '[clojure.data.zip.xml :as zip-xml])
(require '[clojure.pprint :refer pprint :as pp])

(def blog-file "./path-to-wordpress-export-file.xml")

(def root (-> blog-file
    io/resource
    io/file
    xml/parse
    zip/xml-zip))

; I want a vector of maps, where each map has all the attributes of the items.

(def posts (zip-xml/xml-> root :channel
:item [(keyword "wp:post_type") "post"]))

(defn post->map
  "Return a map for the corresponding post we pass in."
  [post]
  {:title (zip-xml/xml1-> post :title zip-xml/text)
   :content (zip-xml/xml1-> post (keyword "content:encoded") zip-xml/text)})

; inspect a single post
(let [[post & rest] posts]
  (post->map post))

; iterate through the posts
(pp (for [post posts]
  (post->map post)))
