I’ve found these syntaxes in Google’s Android repository. Is this a valid syntax? Or is there a possibility in the future?

<SemanticsComponentNode
    container
    explicitChildNodes
    enabled
    checked
    selected
    button
    header=null
    textField=null
    focused=null
    inMutuallyExclusiveGroup
    obscured=null
    scopesRoute=null
    namesRoute=null
    hidden
    label
    value
    hint=null
    textDirection
    testTag=(testTag ?: providedTestTag)
    actions>
    TestTag(tag=DefaultTestTag) {
        children()
    }
</SemanticsComponentNode>

Did you mean to ask that in #compose?

[wickedev]

Okay, thanks. But I’m curious in terms of language.

The compose team was experimenting with embedding XML in Kotlin code, but they've decided to not do that.

May I ask the source for that comment?

Stuff like this: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/CJLTWPH7S/p1558198295050500

Search for XML in #compose.

Thank you!
