I tried you suggestion even before posting this question but a small test program yields the following results: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <site xmlns:="default"> <node>element</node> </site>
This looks like you've passed a pointer to an empty string, rather than a null pointer.
Where as I would suspect: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <site xmlns="default"> <node>element</node> </site> I'm rather new to XML but I believe the proper declaration of the default name space should be without the double-colon, right?
Right, the first is not correct by the namespaces spec. Perhaps libxml2 could be a little more polite by refusing to construct namespaces that will lead to bad output. I've written a short example (see simple.c attached) and the output it should produce (see result.txt attached), Martin
