  <service name="db">5432</service>
</config>

    - '@attributes':
        name: db
      '#text': 5432

When this works best

XML attributes are stored under @attributes and text under #text; mixed content and namespaces are not preserved, so round-tripping complex XML may differ.

How it differs from related tools

The YAML to XML converter reverses this; it cannot keep XML namespaces or processing instructions.
