Both the encoding/xml and encoding/json packages support custom marshalers for JSON and XML, as well as the basic encoding.TextMarshaler and encoding.TextUnmarshaler interfaces, but the docs and examples for these are missing. There are docs for how to use encoding.TextMarshaler and encoding.TextUnmarshaler in encoding/json, but not encoding/xml. There are no examples for how to use them with either json or xml. This commit includes docs for encoding/xml and examples for both encoding/json and encoding/xml. There is an example using custom marshalers MarshalJSON and UnmarshalJSON in encoding/json, but not MarshalXML and UnmarshalXML in encoding/json. These docs are more so necessary for encoding/xml because the complexities of XML documents is significantly greater than JSON documents which more often leads to the need for custom marshaling. The encoding/json package includes an example of how to write a custom marshaler, and this commit includes the same example for the xml package. All examples are mirrored off the existing custom marshaler example in encoding/json.
