Golang marshal dynamic xml element name



The xml file consists of two elements. Those elements have the same structure except for one element name:



<!-- first element -->
<PERSON>
<ELEM1>...</ELEM1>
<ELEM2>...</ELEM2>
<ELEM3>...</ELEM3>
<ELEM4>...</ELEM4>
</PERSON>


<!-- second element -->
<SENDER>
<ELEM1>...</ELEM1>
<ELEM2>...</ELEM2>
<ELEM3>...</ELEM3>
<ELEM4>...</ELEM4>
</SENDER>


Is it possible to define a struct such that the element name is dynamic?



type Person struct {
XMLName string `xml:"???"` // How make this dynamic?
e1 string `xml:"ELEM1"`
e2 string `xml:"ELEM2"`
e3 string `xml:"ELEM3"`
e4 string `xml:"ELEM4"`
}


I tried to set a value to the XMLName property, but that didn't work.
