Re: [xml] Is there an API for obtaining xmlNodeSetPtr for all the nodes within a xml sub-tree ?

[nico <sl1200mk2 gmail com>]

hi,
chetan said is new to xml, and as i'm also "new" in xml, i would like to 
expose here my way of doing to parse children nodes of an  xml  document.
all apologize if it's not the topic of this list....

i'm using the tree API, i declare a node pointer on the rootelement of 
the doc
root = xmlDocGetRootElement(doc);

i declare a node pointer on the first child of the rootelement
node = root->children;

i make a loop while node is not null
while(node)
   {
     /*......*/
       node = node->next;
   }

with some strcmp, find and use the desired data.

is it a good way?

thanks,
nicolas
