    I was thinking along the lines of

    Plenty of libraries can build the XML using structs/classes. e.g. with serde:

    //Data type for row
    #[derive(serde::Serialize)]
    pub struct Foo {
    	pub status: String,
    	pub name: String,
    }
    
    //Example row
    let ent = Foo {
        status: "paid".into(),
        name: "bob".into(),
    }
    
    //Example execution
    sqlx::query(&serde_xml_rs::to_string(&InsertStmt{
    	table: "foo".into(),
    	value: &ent,
    })?).execute(&conn)?;
    

    Or with jackson-dataformat-xml:

    //Data type for row
    public class Foo {
        public string status;
        public string name;
    }
    
    //Example row
    Foo ent = new Foo();
    foo.status = "paid";
    foo.value = "bob";
    
    //Example execution
    XmlMapper xmlMapper = new XmlMapper();
    String xml = xmlMapper.writeValueAsString(new InsertStmt("foo", ent));
    try (Statement stmt = conn.createStatement()) {
        stmt.executeUpdate(xml)
    }
    

    I don’t do JS (yet) but maybe JSX could also do similar things with XML queries.

    No more matching $1, $2, … (or ? for mysql) with individual columns, I could dump entire structs/objects into a query and it would work.
