[xml] Newbie DOM Info

["tonyl/pillarsoftware" <tonyl pillarsoftware com>]

Hi All,

I posted a question asking for some DOM help ... but I didn't get what I
was looking for...

So I spent a day reading the docs and this is what I came up with...

If you interested in helping create a full blown DOM test harness email
me.


Here is the start of a DOM example...

//// xmltest.cpp 

#define IN_LIBXML
#include "libxml.h"

#define CHARCAST(x) reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char *>(x)

#include <string>
#include <fstream.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <libxml/xmlmemory.h>
#include <libxml/tree.h>
#include <libxml/SAX.h>
#include <libxml/parser.h>
#include <libxml/parserInternals.h>
#include <libxml/xmlerror.h>
#include <libxml/DOCBparser.h>
#include <libxml/entities.h>
#include <libxml/encoding.h>
#include <libxml/valid.h>
#include <libxml/xmlIO.h>
#include <libxml/uri.h>
#include <libxml/globals.h>



int test() 
{
	xmlDocPtr		doc;
	xmlNodePtr		cur;     
	xmlNodePtr		childNode;     
	std::string		buffer;
	xmlNodePtr		n;
    ofstream		fout;
	
	
	doc = xmlNewDoc(CHARCAST("1.0"));	
	
	n = xmlNewNode(NULL, CHARCAST("info"));		
	xmlDocSetRootElement(doc, n);

	cur = xmlDocGetRootElement(doc);

	
	xmlNewProp(n, CHARCAST("version"), CHARCAST("alpha"));
	xmlNewProp(n, CHARCAST("date"), CHARCAST("1/1/2003"));
	xmlNewProp(n, CHARCAST("color"), CHARCAST("red"));
	xmlNewProp(n, CHARCAST("number"), CHARCAST("\"&"));

	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"),
CHARCAST("keyword"));
	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"), CHARCAST("<"));
	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"), CHARCAST("&"));
	//childNode= xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"),
CHARCAST(">"));

	childNode = xmlNewChild(cur, NULL, CHARCAST("list"), NULL);

	xmlNewTextChild (childNode, NULL, CHARCAST("name"),
CHARCAST("JG"));
	xmlNewTextChild (childNode, NULL, CHARCAST("name"),
CHARCAST("BG"));
	xmlNewTextChild (childNode, NULL, CHARCAST("name"),
CHARCAST("JAM"));
	xmlNewTextChild (childNode, NULL, CHARCAST("name"),
CHARCAST("SAM"));
	xmlNewTextChild (childNode, NULL, CHARCAST("name"),
CHARCAST("ALL"));

	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"), CHARCAST("&"));
	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"), CHARCAST("'"));
	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"),
CHARCAST("\""));
	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"),
CHARCAST("\n"));
	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"), CHARCAST("]"));
	xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, CHARCAST("keyword"),
CHARCAST("Testing 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) : ; \" ' < > ,
. ? / testing"));

	std::string content;

	content = "LOTS OF CONTENT GOES HERE";
	xmlNewCDataBlock(doc, CHARCAST(content.c_str()),
content.length());
 

	xmlSaveFormatFile ("1.xml", doc, 1);
	xmlFreeDoc(doc);

    fout.close();

	//delete doc;

    return 0;
}


int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	test();

	return 0;
}
